Perspectives S33/Ep61 Families and Citizenship

In October, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp called a special session of the Georgia Legislature for the purposes of redistricting. This act determines who represents you in the legislature and in Congress. What influence do you have, if any in the process? We put this question to the Political Director of the Georgia ACLU, Christopher Bruce. Then we turn to a community issue. November is National Adoption Month and for 150 years Wellroot Family Services has provided support and fostered adoptions to children and teens in Georgia's foster care system. Allison Ashe leads Wellroot which was originally the Decatur Orphanage and later the United Methodist Children's Home. Now more than ever, there is a need for families of color to step up to foster and adopt children in the system.
