Stronger Together: A Movement for Family Preservation and Community Empowerment!

Together, we are forging a movement that envisions a future where every family in Austin is empowered with culturally-relevant support, resources, and connections to ensure their children can thrive. Guided by the voices of those with lived experience, we are committed to reshaping the child welfare system to prioritize family preservation, honor diverse cultures, and strengthen community bonds.

Our mission is clear: to end the unnecessary removal of children from their families by centering community voices, holding systems accountable, and championing partnerships that uplift and sustain families.

This is more than a cause—it’s a call to action.

It’s about reimagining a world where families are supported, not separated. Together, we will create a model of accountability, connection, and respect that ensures ALL families in Travis County have the opportunity to thrive.

Join us as we stand together, strengthen families, and build a future rooted in equity, empowerment, and community.
