June has arrived, and so has the truth.

Across Alabama and beyond, families, advocates, and survivors are joining forces to declare what too many systems have tried to hide: This is not child protection. This is legalized abduction. And we are done being silent about it.

Stolen Children’s Month is now in full effect.

This campaign was created to expose the trauma, corruption, and devastation caused by wrongful removals of children—particularly by state child welfare agencies operating under the guise of “safety.” Families who have been silenced, erased, or ignored are now rising together with one voice.

What We’re Calling Out

This month is about naming what’s happening for what it really is:

• Children removed without due process
• Parents stripped of rights without proper investigation
• Kinship placements bypassed in favor of stranger adoptions
• False accusations used to justify removal
• Racial and class bias disguised as concern

This is not random. It is a pattern. And this month, we are connecting the dots.

The Movement Is Growing

From digital posters and protest reels to milk carton campaigns, letter-writing protests, and courthouse vigils, families across the country are saying: No more.

Every day this month, messages will be released exposing the inner workings of a system that too often destroys what it claims to protect. This includes:

• Testimonies from survivors and parents
• Infographics showing DHR violations and removal statistics
• Calls to action for community, legal, and legislative support

We are not just remembering the children who were taken.
We are fighting for the ones still gone—
and for the ones who are next, whose families have no idea what is coming.

What You Can Do

• Follow the hashtag #StolenChildrensMonth to track updates
• Share stories, graphics, or quotes from families impacted
• Host a local vigil or virtual gathering in your community
• Demand accountability from state agencies, attorneys, and judges
• Donate to legal defense funds or advocacy groups fighting wrongful removals

This Is Not a Moment. It Is a Reckoning.

We do not want sympathy. We want accountability. We want change in courtrooms, in policies, and in every home where a child was unjustly taken.

Stolen Children’s Month is in full effect. And it will not be ignored.
