This is a repost for my friend Sharon Nichols and her assistant, Anita Boutwell, who are heading up the Million Survivor March. For more information on the March and how you can help get involved and volunteer, visit their official website at www.milliionsurvivormarch.com. You can also add them on MySpace at www.myspace.com/mssharonn. This is a great opportunity to help make a difference and help protect our children from abuse, keeping them safe from harm. I know that they are still in need of volunteers for state and county directors as well. This is definitely a cause worth checking out and participating in.

The MARCH

Saturday, June 12, 2010

On the Capital Steps of Our State of _________________

This is a national event, with a rally held in the State Capital of each state, on the same day and time to promote awareness, unite survivors, to strengthen the laws, to strengthen law enforcements' abilities, and to better the health care of survivors of child sexual abuse.

The Million Survivor March is not an actual march, but more like a rally, set up as close to the State's Capital as possible. We will, at a scheduled time, march from our rally location to the steps of our state's capital. We will work with the State as to keeping with the laws and ordinances of such a march and rally. We intend and insist this event to be carried out in a peaceful, respectable and responsible manner.

There will be many informational and professional booths/tents, offering information and assistance for child abuse, child sexual abuse, survivors of child sexual abuse, laws that govern our children's safety against child sexual abuse, and child safety. These booths/tents will be held and sponsored by participating individuals, companies, and organizations of such, to include, but not limited to: Book authors of related topics, law enforcement, any anti-child abuse organization, professionals of counseling, education and law - as related to child abuse and child sexual abuse, and various companies, businesses, and organizations that wish to help promote awareness of child sexual abuse and strengthen our laws to protect our children.

A stage will be set up for guest speakers and live entertainment.

It is planned to have many supporting guest speakers promoting awareness, our strength in numbers, as survivors & supporters, and discussing our avenues to protect our children from pedophiles & increase the health care accessibility for survivors.

We will plan for, if possible, our key note speaker, for each State, to speak from that State's Capital Steps.

We are seeking national and local entertainers & personalities to lead our stage as entertainment and speakers.

We will have refreshments, beverages, and meals, with their booths/tents sponsored by national and local companies & businesses. These booths/tents will be set up and ran by either the sponsoring company, one of our sponsoring organizations, or a group of our own volunteers.

Our mother organization, UNITED SURVIVORS, will have booth/s and or tent/s set up for sale of promotional items and "March" informational kiosks. Here, one can buy t-shirts and other items to support our cause, buy raffle tickets, donate monetarily, sign our registry, sign up to volunteer, place comments and suggestions into our comment box, and sign petitions. We will have, in place, petitions to: improve & enforce the laws that govern our children's safety against child sexual abuse, enhance the funds and means of our law enforcement to better their abilities to enforce these laws and drastically improve the means in which a survivor of child sexual abuse can receive health care for better recovery.

THE MILLION SURVIVOR MARCH is an event & project of and promoted & organized by, 100% volunteer participation from, members of the UNITED SURVIVORS ORGANIZATON. All proceeds of sales and donations go directly to our cause, as stated above.

We, as an organization and members of the same, do not promote or endorse any political or religious parties
