Minnesota took a major step in the movement to combat child welfare disparities this week when Governor Tim Walz signed the African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act into law.
Child welfare disparities harm impacted children and families. The legislation provides critical tools for preventing harm and strengthening the stability and well-being of children and families. The Council for Minnesotans of African Heritage (CMAH) congratulates the bill authors, community partners, and state leaders for their work in getting the bill passed and signed.
