Tell the story truthfully
Share the realities facing children of incarcerated parents with care, consent, and dignity — never as spectacle.
Get Involved
Join the MFGP Advocacy Network
Advocates are the reason policy rooms, classrooms, and living rooms start telling the truth about incarceration and family. Bring your voice — we'll bring the briefings, the toolkits, and the people doing this work beside you.
What an MFGP advocate does
An advocate is not a spectator. You are the person who says the quiet thing out loud in the meeting, who hands a caregiver the right phone number, who makes sure a young person's story is told with consent and care instead of pity.
Engage where decisions happen
Show up for school boards, city councils, and state hearings with prepared talking points and real data.
Educate your community
Run a briefing at your church, campus, workplace, or nonprofit using MFGP materials built for that purpose.
Walk alongside families
Connect caregivers and youth to resources, mentorship, and programs before a crisis becomes a cliff.
