Repeal MGL 209A (so-called ‘Abuse Prevention’ law) Campaign Kicks Off Tues., September 27!
Our effort to repeal the draconian 209A law is on track after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordered the Mass. Attorney General’s office to allow the initiative petition to proceed.
Under the so-called ‘domestic violence’ law many individuals are separated from their children, thrown out of their homes, forced into the court system and even incarcerated for non-violent acts and for charges without any merit. Due process rights are ignored under a law which presumes a person is guilty before any crime is committed.
The most benign actions, even unintentional ones, are considered criminal by a law destructive to normal healthy relationships within families. Signature gathering will begin this coming Tuesday.
We encourage all those who have been adversely affected by the law and all who are concerned about fair treatment of men and fathers to help collect the required 68,900 signatures from registered voters. Email support@fatherhoodcoalition.org or call 857 350-0575 to have petition sheets delivered to you.
