                        Native American children are much more likely to be taken from their parents and placed in the foster care system than white children. When the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was established over 40 years ago, it aimed to fix the problem. Now, the ICWA is being threatened by a small group of people who want to take away the protections placed on keeping Native children in their communities.



                        Sign the petition to urge the U.S. government to protect indigenous sovereignty and codify the ICWA into law!



                        The case has gone all the way to the Supreme Court, where the plaintiffs hope to take the ICWA protections away. If the court dismantles the act, thousands of Native families could lose their children. According to the Protect ICWA Campaign, "they will have also cleared the way for a larger attack on Native families, Native land, and tribal sovereignty." Sign the petition to urge the U.S. government to protect indigenous sovereignty and codify the ICWA into law!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. If the Supreme Court dismantles the ICWA, thousands of Native families could lose their children. Demand action!
