Tips for Talking with Children About Racism and Social Justice
Every child has the right to grow up healthy, educated and safe – regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status. Systemic change to end racism is essential to achieving this vision.
Family Preservation Foundation was founded over 3 years ago to fight for universal values and children’s rights. However, we also live in a society that still suffers from a legacy of institutional racism. The last week has been a difficult one for America, and for anyone who believes in and is fighting for a more just world.

The Supreme Court's Parental Rights Doctrine
A Summary of the Supreme Court's Parental Rights Doctrine: The Supreme Court's Parental Rights Doctrine is the culmination of the Court's rulings on parental rights.

Granville opened the door for individual judges and States to apply their own rules to parental rights.
Family Preservation Foundation Calls for What’s Right: Reuniting Every Single Separated Family Immediately
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Piscataway, New Jersey (July 23, 2020) – In response to news reports that court-appointed lawyers cannot find the parents of 545 children who were separated at the U.S. southern border under a 2017 pilot program, Family Preservation Foundation, issued the following statement:
Family Preservation Foundation members are horrified to learn that more than three years later, hundreds of children and families remain separated. Family separation is a cruel and inhumane policy, which can cause irreparable harm to children and parents alike. We urge the administration, in the strongest terms possible, to fix this man-made crisis and stop putting children at risk.
Family Preservation Foundation will continue to stand up and call for what’s right: reuniting every single separated family immediately – and never, ever separating children in the first place. Families belong together.
