Chicago——————Thousands of supports from across the nation and internationally will converge on the US Capitol on Saturday, August 18, 2007 to rally for fundamental rights for families. In an unprecedented movement, many of the nation’s family support groups and organizations have joined forces to tell the government to “…get out of our households and allow us to raise our families without government interference!”
Minister Ronald Smith, Founder and Executive Director of Children Need Both Parents, Inc. a non-profit organization founded in Illinois has taken the lead role in the movement by educating parents and organizations on the underlying effects of Title IV, the Social Security Administration’s welfare reform program. “Title IV has taken on the funding capabilities of trafficking children and destroying families,” stated Smith as he rapped up a successful non-custodial parent’s rally over the past weekend in Des Monies.
Among the supporters of the rally are Dr. Stephen Baskerville, President of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children; William Tower, President of American Family Rights Association; James Semerad, President of Dads and Moms of Michigan; Bessie Hudgins, President of Three Sides to Every Story, Inc; Stephen Walker, Board Member of ACFC; Robert Looper, Chairman of National African American Coalition for Shared Parenting, (NAACSP), as well as others from across North America.
Smith likens the movement and rally to that of the 1963 Civil Rights movement orchestrated by the Reverend, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “…because every state in the Union is profiting from the destruction of our nation’s families and failure to recognize the God given fundamental rights to raise our children according to our own cultures and ethnic backgrounds.”
The rally has attracted the support of several high profile activists and celebrities as well as major funding sources as sponsors for the event. For more information about the rally and/or opportunities to sponsor the event, contact Scherry Shabazz at CNBP, Inc. at 616-301-1515 or 616-301-1616.
