As we conclude our national tour, host Gloria Riviera and our partner Latoya Gayle reflect on the lessons learned from advocates and caretakers we met across the U.S. They chat about the inspiration they are taking away from this journey after meeting so many people working to make a difference in the lives of families everywhere.

Later in the episode, Gloria and Latoya discuss how you take the lessons learned and get involved in your community, and walk through exactly what to say when you call your legislator to advocate for more childcare. If you’ve ever wondered how to become an advocate but aren't sure where to start, this is the episode for you.

No One is Coming to Save Us

Lessons Learned From Our National Tour (With Latoya Gayle)

When young adults leave the foster care system they’re left trying to find housing or employment on their own. Oftentimes, the thing they yearn for the most is family. In this special episode, Gloria chats with the Vice President of the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Center for Systems Innovation, Sandra Gasca, and CEO at Foster Forward, Lisa Guillette. Our guests discuss how they’re helping youth aging out of foster care age into an ecosystem of belonging. Whether it’s legally creating ‘soul’ families or providing affordable homes, they tell us the ways they’re working with former foster kids to break the cycle and achieve stability. 



This episode was made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization devoted to building brighter futures for all children, youth and young adults, and ensuring they have the family, community and opportunity they need to thrive.

Fostering a Better Future (with Sandra Gasca and Lisa Guillette)

Gloria is live at CareFest in Los Angeles, presented by Caring Across Generations, to bring you a conversation among leading care advocates about the potential of the care agenda to unite a divided nation. She is joined by Lisa Hamilton Daly, the Executive Vice President of Programming for Hallmark Media; Mónica Ramirez, an attorney, author, and founder of Justice for Migrant Women; and Jenn Stowe, the Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. They talk about changing the narrative around care from being an individual problem to a collective responsibility, how we can get people across the political divide engaged on this issue, and how it all might play out in the next presidential election. Plus, Monica shares a historic update about the Farm Bill, and what it might mean for caregivers in rural America.

How Care Can Bring Our Country Together (Live from CareFest LA)

Keri Rodrigues's son was suspended 36 times while he was in kindergarten. She felt abandoned by school officials and like the teachers hated her child. So she went into mama bear mode, organized local parents, and changed the local school system. Now, as President of the National Parents Union, she’s organizing parents across the country to help improve their local schools and make schools more equitable for all.
