🌟Meet our third Fall Fundraiser: Block Party Edition honoree, Emiko Tajima!🌟 Emiko Tajima is a faculty member at the University of Washington School of Social Work . Her research is equity-driven, with a focus on system change to improve child, youth, and family well-being, especially for marginalized groups. Emiko directs Partners for Our Children (P4C) a research and policy advocacy center at the School of Social Work which is committed to anti-racist institutional and structural analysis and reform. Emiko’s systems change approach is shaped by her interdisciplinary education and direct service experience supporting survivors of family and gender-based violence. Emiko’s decades of service focusing on prevention and system change to improve the welfare of children and families (especially within marginalized groups) is deeply aligned with Mockingbird’s values. Case in point, her research, support, and steadfast belief in our young advocates helped make our recent win with SB 5908 Extended Foster Care possible! "We're honored to recognize Emiko for her dedication in delivering crucial data around extended foster care and her powerful testimony that has shaped legislative outcomes," said Charles Smith, our Public Policy & Advocacy Director.

🌟We're excited to introduce another Fall Fundraiser: Block Party Edition Honoree-- Representative Tina Orwall!🌟 Tina Orwall has represented the 33rd district since 2009. Tina has worked with all levels of government to help embrace best practices to better serve the community. Representative Orwall’s decades of service elevating issues around mental health, adoptee rights, protecting minors, and K-12 education, as well as her championing of MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™, have made a meaningful difference in Mockingbird’s ability to advance improvements in child welfare policy. "I'm excited about honoring Representative Orwall due to her impact in recognizing the outcomes of Foster parents and young people who are part of MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ Constellations," said Jeff Abdullah, Director of MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™. "Thanks to Representative Orwall's support, we have continued to improve our efforts in supporting specific communities in Washington state." We're so grateful to have the opportunity to honor Representative Orwall on October 10th! Learn more about the fundraiser, register, and donate at: https://lnkd.in/gcstZnCr
