Fathers taking the leadFathers taking the leadto end domestic violence.Father’s Day is June 21, 2015. This year join these Fathers for Hope!We know the realities of violence against women and children -- as witnesses and victims, as friends and companions of those whosuffer. That is why so many of us -- men from all walks of life -- have committed to turning our private concern in to public action.

We are Fathers For Hope! We intend to be catalysts for a new kind of society -- where decency and respect require no special dayon the calendar. Where boys learn that violence does not equal strength and where men stand with courage, lead with conviction,and speak with one voice to say, “No more.”
