On this week's episode of The Imprint Weekly Podcast we discuss new proposals for abolishing "family policing" and creating a community-led parallel system for family support; lowered expectations on L.A. juvenile justice reform; and a surprising outcome among states that have raised the age since 2007.
Jen Burdick of Community Legal Services of Philadelphia joins to talk about her organization's massive push to help clients file tax returns this year to prevent them from missing out on major new family supports that some believe could halve child poverty in America.
