Oklahoma CASA’s Commitment to Racial Justice

As an organization which strives to ensure all children and families have safe and positive futures, Oklahoma CASA grieves the recent events involving racism and violence in our country. We rededicate ourselves as an organization to furthering introspection and understanding of the history of institutional racism and the impacts within the child welfare, educational, health care and criminal justice systems which lead to disparate outcomes for children and families of color. Oklahoma CASA will continue to encourage the fierce and courageous conversations necessary to aid in the transformation of the child welfare system, and pledge to listen to the voices and leadership of those most impacted by injustice as we strive to become better advocates for all children and families. – Oklahoma CASA Association
