Write your Senators, urging them to REJECT the budget reconciliation bill. Already passed in the House, the bill would ultimately cut $23.6 Million in funding to California’s foster system. Most of that money would end financial support to relatives caring for foster children who would otherwise be placed with strangers. Many of these relatives, often grandparents, are on fixed incomes and would not have the financial means to care for the children without the standard foster care support.
Please read the Chronicle Editorial and write to your Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer:
