Durham County just gave Social Services Director Maggie Clapp a 15.7% salary increase — calling it a “market adjustment,” but we know it’s really about RETENTION.

Meanwhile, families are struggling to eat and pay their rent.

Director Clapp is getting a raise for causing harm to families via the family policing system.

This raise doesn’t erase that harm. It tells us whose stability Durham County is choosing to protect.

We’re paying attention. Pull up to the next Board meeting on Aug 26 @ 10:30am to continue speaking truth to power.

Today, at the Durham Social Services Board meeting, we took action to challenge power. The Board responded with force.

We were peacefully seated at the table when the Board refused to begin the meeting until they could regain what they called “order.” There are no written rules saying the public can’t sit at the table. But sharing that space challenged the Board’s sense of control. Rather than beginning the meeting, they called on armed security to physically remove us.

This is family policing in action.

We will continue to challenge power because history shows that those who hold power don’t give it up willingly.

The next Durham Social Services Board meeting is August 26 at 10:30 a.m. Mark your calendar. Show up. Take a stand.

Truth lifts the veil. It makes visible what so many families have experienced while being told to carry it in silence. The family policing system is not broken—it’s operating exactly as it was designed: separating families and expanding surveillance under the guise of protection.

Termination of parental rights—the family death penalty—is one of the system’s most violent tools. Its harm reaches far beyond the courtroom, leaving lasting impacts on parents, children, extended families, and entire communities.

This is one family’s story. It is also part of a much larger truth.

If we’re serious about protecting families, we must tell the truth about the systems that claim to serve them and organize for real investments that keep families together.

Join us Sat, July 11 at 3 PM at The Burrow / La Madriguera for a teach in about Durham’s newest tool surveillance “Family Treatment Court”, what it means for our community, and how we can continue building a local movement to end family policing and invest in the resources families actually need.

🚨 Community Teach-In: What is Family Treatment Court?

Durham County is preparing to launch a Family Treatment Court—but what is it really, and how will it impact families?

Join us for a community teach-in where we’ll explore:
📌 What Family Treatment Court is
📌 How it emerged from the War on Drugs and the Adoption and Safe Families Act
📌 Why we’re calling it Durham’s newest tool of surveillance
📌 What’s happening in Durham right now—and how we can organize for real investments in family preservation and reunification instead.

Families don’t need more courts.
Families need resources.

📅 Sat, July 11
🕒 3-5pm
📍 The Burrow (207 N Church St) The Burrow / La Madriguera

Bring your questions, a friend, and a commitment to building a Durham where families are supported—not surveilled.

What will “they” do when the children who have been stolen start telling the truth?

Maybe that’s not even the right question.

What will WE do?

Will we be willing to listen to the lived experiences of those who survived these systems? Will we have the courage to examine the data that shows the outcomes? Will we choose accountability over comfort?

Last Thursday, community members gathered in Durham to honor Stolen Children’s Month Stolen Children’s Month . Together, we told the truth, honored the children and families who have been separated, and held space for those who are still waiting to be reunited.

The truth is being told.

The question is whether we are ready to hear it.
