1st Million March - Monday, April 22, 2013
NAASCA Urges Participation - In Cities Across The Country
by Bill Murray - Our children need a voice!
From Facebook:
MACA is a non-partisan, grass roots, nationwide effort, to UNITE ALL Child Advocates together in solidarity on April 22, 2013 for peaceful demonstrations against child abuse and crimes against children in the U.S. Description April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. We seek to raise awareness of and ask for tougher sentencing for violent crimes against children in the U.S. |
Statistics on crimes against children each year in the U.S. are staggering, sobering and should compel EVERY adult, parent, father, uncle, son, grandfather and all mothers, aunts, daughters, grandmothers and women to be moved to do something NOW.
At a recent Washington Congressional hearing in June, 2011, experts believe nearly 10 children die each day from abuse. NCANDS, the national database for crimes against children, didn't receive data from 3 states in their latest report!
States are NOT mandated to report child fatalities as a result of CAN or any type of abuse whether fatal or not! We are NOT seeking to create more bureaucracy, but rather, demanding our lawmakers begin to protect our children through stiffer sentencing for child abuse, including mandatory life without parole for violent crimes such as child rape and murder.
Unlike many diseases, child abuse is a willful act and 100% preventable through TOUGHER law enforcement and education. We MUST let our nation and lawmakers know that Americans will NO LONGER tolerate inadequate laws and light sentencing.
Now is the time and we need YOUR HELP on April 22, 2013.
NOTE:
There can not be any fundraising going on at any walk throughout the entire nation. If anyone involved with the walk in your city is fundraising, asking for donations or anything that is questionable please contact MACA immediately. Businesses and organizations CAN donate goods/services. If you would like to make a money donation, please visit www.CWAVusa.org

1st Million March
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY |

1st Million March - All Over The Country !!! - Monday, April 22, 2012
April 1st was the start of National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. I am sharing our profile picture with all of you and asking that you change your profile pictures to the blue ribbon. It is time for everyone to start making their signs for their walks. Please make extra if you can. Below are some guidelines for signs and the short list.
MACA needs to keep the integrity of its relatio nships with large organizations, sponsors, etc. We forbid “Graphic” images for children abused on signs. Instead we believe we can break the silence with wording, along with many images that include the following list (below).
If you wish to put a child on you sign, it can very well be one for example, a hospital photo with tubes, etc... Not any images that clearly shows trauma. With these images, we recommend:
•Blow the image up for your poster/sign
•Add wording at top and bottom, for example:
•Top: IQ of 41
•Bottom: Dad got 4 years |
|
Black markers are always best. |
NOTE TO WALKERS
SOME CITIES REQUIRE YOU TO EITHER WEAR YOUR SIGNS AROUND YOUR NECK OR YOU CAN CARRY THEM. YOUR LEADS WILL INFORM YOU BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO MAKE YOUR SIGNS. IF YOU ARE TO WEAR THEM, YOU WILL HAVE TWO, ONE IN FRONT AND ONE IN BACK, ATTACHED BY TWINE OR YARN.
PUT A PHOTO OF A CHILD (WE PROVIDE BY FILE, YOU MUST GET IT BLOWN UP FOR YOUR POSTER BOARD) ON ONE SIDE AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, PICK A SLOGAN AT TOP.
Please contact your lead for the file. Below is the short list for smaller walks (50 or less walkers). Larger walks please contact your lead for the long list for signs.
To promote the best possible even-handed and consistent signage across the country:
