At Passaic County CASA, we dedicate ourselves to amplifying children's voices. Children, especially children in foster care, are often unable to speak for themselves. Because child safety and wellbeing for all children is central to our mission at CASA, we condemn all acts of systemic racism in our country. The structural inequities that have created layers of institutional disproportionately have impacted our Black families and children for generations. Through our work in the family court, CASA sees the result of these injustices every day.

One way that CASA staff and volunteers are learning how to address these injustices and challenge their unconscious bias is through Harvard’s Implicit Bias Project. Check out the resource here: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html
