FAITH LEADERS FOR THE EVERY CHILD DESERVES A FAMILY ACT

Dear Honorable Senators and Representatives: CURRENT NATIONAL FAITH ORGANIZATION ENDORSERS We, the undersigned faith leaders and organizations, join together to urge you to cosponsor and pass the Every Child Deserves a Family Act African American Ministers in Action so that every child experiences the love, care, and security that they Alliance of Baptists deserve. As people of faith, we believe that all children and families Association of U.S. Catholic Priests touched by our child welfare system must be treated with dignity and (AUSCP) respect, free from discrimination. Passage of the Every Child Deserves a Family Act will move us towards this critical goal by barring Bend the Arc: Jewish Call to Action discrimination in federally funded foster care and adoption services Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of based on religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and marital the Good Shepherd, U.S. Provinces status, and helping states, tribes, and agencies provide competent (Roman Catholic) care to and improved outcomes for the children and families they DignityUSA serve. The Global Justice Institute

As people of faith, we celebrate the important work of the many faith- Interfaith Alliance based child welfare agencies that support and foster youth. Yet, some Jewish Alliance for Law and Social states have laws that allow taxpayer-funded child welfare agencies to Action misuse religious freedom to turn away prospective parents and in Keshet some cases, limit services to children due to their religion, marital Loretto Community status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Such discriminatory practices break the cardinal rule of child welfare, to always act in the Many Voices: A Black Church Movement best interests of the child. We are committed to religious freedom and for Gay & Transgender Justice believe that it need not conflict with other essential rights and Methodist Federation for Social Action protections. Religious freedom protects everyone’s right to practice Metropolitan Community Churches, the religion of their choice or no religion at all, as long as doing so Global Justice Institute does not inflict harm on others. To argue that religious freedom National Advocacy Center of the Sisters justifies the use of taxpayer dollars to discriminate against children of the Good Shepherd (Roman Catholic) and prospective parents is a distortion of such freedom and a misunderstanding of civil rights law. National Council of Jewish Women New Ways Ministry (Roman Catholic) Far too many foster children spend years in the system without finding NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social a forever home. LGBTQ+ children, who are disproportionately Justice represented in child welfare, experience higher rates of mistreatment, Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters long stays in residential care rather than with families, and higher rates of homelessness, being trafficked, and criminal justice system Religious Institute involvement. Simply put, when child welfare agencies do not provide Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin affirming care or turn away qualified foster and adoptive families, Mary children suffer harm. The Every Child Deserves a Family Act promotes Sisters of Charity of Nazareth care that is affirming of a child’s identity including race, color, national Congregational Leadership origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability. It SOJOURN (Southern Jewish Resource provides extensive resources to child welfare providers to improve the for Gender and Sexual Diversity) outcomes for the LGBTQ+ youth dramatically overrepresented in care. And, it opens up more loving homes to America’s 440,000 foster youth. Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (WATER) Please co-sponsor and pass the Every Child Deserves a Family Act.
