"#Poor #mothers are often laying on the precipice of #houselessness due to a #welfare
system that fails to support them and their #children. #Evictions are one mechanism
through which the state has successfully unhoused women and children. Following the
repeal of Rule 1 (#evictionprotections) in October 2020, evictions in #LACounty increased
(7) by 172% . Studies have shown that having children can significantly increase the
likelihood of a household being evicted. #Singlemothers, especially #Blackmothers, are in
an even more precarious situation given the employment and wage disparities that
make their ability to pay #rent and obtain stable housing more difficult.
Mothers are further impacted by economic status as it is used by the #DepartmentofChildrenandFamilyServices (#DCFS), to justify ongoing surveillance and violence which has led to evictions, the inability to access future housing and the inability to make
decisions on their child’s well-being. DCFS has not only pushed families into
houselessness but has a long violent history of #surveillance and policing within #SkidRow
specifically and has made efforts to displace Skid Row residents from their #community
under the guise of help. As of 2020, #LosAngeles County consisted of only 7% of Black
(8) children and yet, 24% of #Blackchildren were removed from their families by DCFS ."

Dear [pigs]
I am a white woman.I'm not a white woman. This is what the t-shirt reads. It can be interpreted differently. One way is that

"...requires the advisory council for the Department on Aging’s Alzheimer’s Resource Coordination Center to maintain and update a comprehensive statewide plan to address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias."
This is wonderful! I and everyone else applaud this.
However, when the "South Carolina Dignity in Pregnancy and Birth Act" was proposed to have a committee formed to develop a comprehensive statewide plan to measure and address the insanely high mortality rate among African American mothers, why was that rejected?
This General Assembly can be so frustratingly disappointing, especially when they show glimpses of what they're capable of!
