“And at the end of the day, I hate this expression, but children don’t vote.”

Every year, over 26,000 kids “age-out” of #fostercare. Without support, many end up #homeless, trafficked, or pulled into the criminal justice system. We can’t abandon these kids.

We know you're stressed out by the elections and the pandemic. But the work of protecting and helping children has to go on.

Do yourself a favor and carve out a little time in the next few days to learn about an amazing, positive new project at PROTECT: protect.org/newteam
