Durham families should not be separated because they lack resources.

More than 80% of child welfare cases are for “neglect” — conditions tied to poverty, not abuse. Instead of investing in housing, childcare, transportation, and direct support, Durham continues funding systems that surveil and separate families.

This budget season, we are demanding Durham County invest at least 1% of the department budget directly into family preservation and reunification.

Send an email now and tell Durham County: Invest in families, not family separation.
