Keeping Kids SAFE – A Call to Action

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe environment, free from harm and danger. Yet, too many children face risks that threaten their well-being, as a result of failed legislation - particularly the "Keeping Families Together Act" - aka HB1227. It is our responsibility to take action and help keep kids safe. By raising awareness and advocating for stronger protections, we can create a world where children are safeguarded from harm.

Keeping Kids SAFE is more than just a mission—it’s a movement. We aim to educate families, empower communities, and push for meaningful change that prioritizes the safety of our youngest and most vulnerable. Through collective effort, we can address issues that plague the welfare of children in Washington.

How You Can Help:

  • Spread Awareness: Share crucial information with your network to ensure everyone understands the importance of child safety.
  • Support Stronger Protections: Advocate for policies and programs that put children’s safety first.
  • Get Involved: Join efforts in your community to create a safer environment for children.

Every action matters. Together, we can stand up for children and make a lasting impact. Let’s work as one to keep kids SAFE and ensure they have the secure, happy childhood they deserve.

Suggested phone script

Hi, my name is _____ and I'm calling about HB1227. Children like Otis Sorenson are dying as a result of this bill. Otis was less than one month old when he died while under the care of his father who was known to be using illegal drugs. Our Child Protective Services couldn't save Otis because the threshold for removal under HB1227 mandates risk of "imminent physical harm" which couldn't be met in Otis' case despite obvious risk factors.

Main point number one: HB1227 affects children's rights to safety and has potentially devastating consequences. Community leaders and professionals, including social workers, educators, and healthcare providers, have raised significant concerns about its impact on children.

Main point number two: The bill, as it stands, lacks the necessary foresight and understanding of its full implications. We need a comprehensive review to ensure it truly aligns with the needs and values of our communities, prioritizing the safety and well-being of children.

Main point number three: Your leadership is crucial in initiating a thorough and transparent reassessment of HB1227. We urge you to use your position to push for thoughtful revision, ensuring that any legislative measures genuinely put the safety of the children first and uphold our shared commitment to justice and equity.

Thank you.

Make them Matter Monday1/20/2025
Please as you head into this week - ask your local representatives to learn about the children impacted by the devastating effects of our failed legislation. Prince Lewis was 3 years old and returned home. He died while a case was still open on his trial return home. Safety plans don't work when drug use is still active in the home.
