Living Your Mission with Darcy Olsen of Generation Justice
Show Notes

Today we speak with one of the strongest, most caring people we know, Founder of Generation Justice, Darcy Olsen. In 2011, Darcy found herself with a foster baby in her arms and a mission: to put an end to the bureaucratic failures, violence, and deaths she’d seen children suffer in our nation’s broken child protection system. Today, Darcy has adopted all four of her children from foster care, has testified before Congress, written for The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and has published a book "The Right to Try" along with countless appearances on public affair shows.

The story she shares in this episode about her life’s journey and work is heartbreaking and heartwarming . . . but please give it a listen to better understand what is happening all around us in this city and cities all over America. We must use our strengths to help others, especially those who cannot help themselves.

Through bipartisan reforms, Generation Justice has improved the safety of more than 35,000 kids across the country. Coupled with those reforms, their Children’s Law Clinic provides free counsel for children and creates precedent that serves all child victims.
