February is Black History Month - an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. We have seen immense growth in the awareness and development of the Black Lives Matter movement over the past year, which arose through massive and widespread protests and civilian acts of resistance and solidarity, even as COVID-19 raged around the world. This year’s Black History Month has more gravity and significance t...han ever, and is a time for all of us to look inward, asking what each of us can do to better confront racism and inequality. There are many ways to celebrate Black History Month! Check out how some Bay Area organizations and arts institutions plan to celebrate Black History Month this year, and how you can participate in celebrating the many important achievements and accomplishments of African Americans throughout history: https://datebook.sfchronicle.com//black-history-month-2021

Older youth in foster care age out of the system when no legal permanent connection (such as being reunited with their birth family, adopted, or placed under the care of a legal guardian) is available to them by the time they reach the age of majority. Older youth who age out of foster care experience an increased risk for homelessness, young parenthood, low educational attainment, high unemployment rates, and other adverse adult outcomes. Find out more about how you can help us create the permanent, secure relationships older youth need to successfully transition to adulthood. Give us a call at (510)536-5437 or visit www.familybuilders.org for more information.
