The conversation \u2013 a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/national-casa-gal-launches-poverty-learning-series\/\">National CASA\/GAL Poverty Learning Series<\/a> \u2013 explored how policies and pathologies perpetuate segregation and inequality in America. Leading up to the event, National CASA\/GAL Book Club members participated in independent reading and group discussion, culminating in this special opportunity to hear directly from the author.<\/p>\n<p>The National CASA\/GAL Poverty Learning Series educates program staff and volunteers to advocate for children, youth and families impacted by poverty and allows CASA\/GAL volunteers and staff to reflect and engage in facilitated dialogue on topics that impact the children and families they serve. CASA\/GAL staff and volunteers gained more knowledge about inequalities in American cities and can use this information to better serve children in the child welfare system.
