UNICEF event today to discuss our (your) petition.

To take a stand for the family worldwide is our objective. Today, because of the efforts of 133,696 active citizens, we are… Active citizens, in something like 50 countries, will be heard at the global stage to take a stand against policies intended to destroy the definition of Family. Thank you.

Often, as individuals, our voices are not loud enough to make a difference. When we go it alone, those in power often dismiss our criticisms. However, when we stand together -- combining our voices together -- we are able to accomplish much. This is proven, for example: in this instance.

Over the last few months, we've asked many times for your help by signing the United Nations Family Rights Caucus petition "Include the Family.”

The UN is grossly ignoring its obligation to protect the family as called for in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that recognizes the family as "the fundamental unit of society” entitled to protection of society and State. Other UN documents also call upon the UN to assess the impact of policies on the family in order to protect it.

Until now, during important deliberations, the UN has ignored its responsibility to the family. In fact, not only ignoring it, they're have been discussing how to redefine it. This is causing many countries to fear talking about it, because crazy liberals may hijack the conversation and redefine it.

But, your voice (your signature) has been the needed support.

Today, during a side-event hosted by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), alongside of several member states (such as Philippines and Ecuador) -- the "Include the Family” petition will be discussed. Unbeknownst to you, your signature is fueling this effort. Again, thank you.

Vera, If you have not done so already, will you please sign our petition to the United Nations demanding they include the Family?

We are a community of 1.6 million. Many, perhaps you, have not signed. Please help grow this petition.

Now that we know the world is watching, we must continue to act. Vera, you are a very important piece of the action plan. In addition to signing, can you help by sharing this petition with your friends and family?

Today, they know the petition has 133,696 signatures. When they see how many people sign it overnight, they will understand the urgency.

Signing and sharing is easy, just go to this link: http://www.citizengo.org/en/7665-un-include-family-campaign -- and follow the instructions.

Though the United Nations has a responsibility to protect the true definition of Family, they constantly allow it to come under attack, contradicting their known responsibilities.

Just this last weekend, while the world was focused on other pressing issues, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a Sexual Orientation Gender Identity (SOGI) resolution aimed at streamlining policies that promotes Gay "Marriage.” Their opinion: if a nation does not support same-sex "marriage,” they are discriminating against that person's right for "marriage equality.” They already have an action campaign ready to go, called "Born Free and Equal.”

How do we fight these types of initiatives? How do we fight this mislabeled campaign?

It is simple… and actually outlined in the petition. With your signature, you are arming us to fight. Now that the world is watching this petition, can you please help us advance it? Help us fight against an extremist agenda?

If you have not done so already -- please sign here -- http://www.citizengo.org/en/7665-un-include-family-campaign

As I said above, the petition outlines things in simple terms. The petition states:

As concerned individuals, we hereby call upon the United Nations and all Member States to place the family at the center of the UN's post-2015 development agenda by taking the following measures:

1. Establish a standalone sustainable development goal to strengthen the family as an essential contributor to development.

2. Mainstream a family perspective in each of the other sustainable development goals by establishing measurable family-focused targets in each area, and identifying and promoting evidence-based/ family-based approaches for achieving them.

3. Develop mechanisms to analyze the impact of all laws, policies, and programs on family stability and autonomy.

If you think that this request is reasonable enough, and you have not done so already, please help us advance this initiative by signing the petition.
