Support Strong Families! CALL: 1-800-327-1198
Tell your Assembly Member to pass the "Relative Caregiver Bill" today. |
Did you know that up to 40% of all relatives raising children whose parents are unable are non-grandparents? These families need your help.
Call 1-800-327-1198
today and urge your Assembly Member to pass Assembly Bill 7189, the "Relative Caregiver Bill."
The Senate unanimously passed the Relative Caregiver Bill last night. The Assembly must pass the bill before it can go to the governor to be signed into law. Please act now!
Aunts, uncles, adult siblings and great-grandparents in NY provide homes for more than 100,000 children whose own parents are unable to care for them.
These generous and loving relatives should have the same rights as grandparents when raising children in need of stable homes: the ability to seek guardianship or custody.
Please call 1-800-327-1198to be connected to your Assembly Member and urge him or her to pass Assembly Bill 7189. Help keep families intact and give children the foundation they need to succeed.
Thank you.
