    This document summarizes a social work class trip to the Iowa state capitol to advocate for a bill of rights for children in foster care and those adopted from foster care. The students met with legislators who introduced the bill, including former social worker Marti Anderson, who believed foster children deserved outlined rights and protections. However, the bill did not receive necessary advocacy and priority and was never passed. The students learned about how bills work and the impact citizens can have on the legislative process.
