California’s AB495—also known as the Family Preparedness Plan Act—has ignited a statewide debate over parental rights, child welfare, and government overreach. This episode breaks down the bill’s intent to support children of detained immigrant parents through expanded guardianship options, and the growing backlash from critics who warn it could undermine parental consent and custody protections. We explore key provisions of AB495, reactions from lawmakers and advocacy groups, and the broader implications for families, immigration policy, and civil liberties. Is this legislation a compassionate safeguard—or a dangerous precedent?   Show Notes   https://abc7news.com/post/family-preparedness-plan-act-hundreds-rally-ca-bill-would-allow-short-term-guardianship-kids-immigrants/17591523/   https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-pastor-leads-rally-state-capitol-warning-parents-flee-state-dangerous-bill-passes   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3758090/california-ab-495-state-bill-parental-rights/     Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social   Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback feedback@unwoketheshow.com
