Saturday, July 8, 2000, 11:00 AM

American Bar Association Millennium Convention

New York Hilton, 6th Ave. & 53rd St., New York, NY

To celebrate the millennium, the American Bar Association’s annual meeting will be held in two cities -- first New York, then London from July 15th to 20th. That means that, in addition to New York’s normal population of vermin and rodents, the city will be lousy with 15,000 extra lawyers from July 6th to 12th. The New York Hilton will be the meeting headquarters. The Family Law Section will be in the Crowne Plaza hotel from Friday, July 7th to Sunday, the 9th. (See their full schedule at www.abanet.org/annual/2000/home/html)

Participate in Americans for Legal Reform’s demonstration against the American Bar Association on Saturday, July 8, 2000 beginning at 11:00 AM. They will have a sound system available. You may also want to conduct your own demonstration at the Crowne Plaza hotel.

Tuesday, August 8, 2000, 12:00 Noon to 1:30 PM

National Child Support Protest

Camden County Hall of Justice, Camden, NJ

The "child support business" is a multi-billion dollar growth industry. It has created a bureaucracy that is rife with incompetence and errors, tramples on fathers’ Civil Rights and right to be a parent, and doesn’t benefit children. To call attention to this, the Washington, DC based American Coalition for Fathers and Children has organized a nation-wide child support protest at over 140 locations around the country.

In conjunction with ACFC’s demonstrations, FACE members and supporters will burn their child support orders in the plaza in front of the Camden County Hall of Justice.

Meet at the courthouse plaza at 11:30 AM. Bring your child support order (or a photocopy of it) to throw into the fire. FACE will supply handbills to give to passersby. Be prepared to be interviewed by the news media. Let us know in advance if you would like to be one of the speakers.

Contact: FACE Hotline (856) 786-FACE or info@facenj.org for further details. See ACFC’s website at www.acfc.org/ for further information and other locations.

Saturday, November 4, 2000, Noon to 4:00 PM

2nd Annual National Cry for Children

Reflecting Pool Steps, Lincoln Memorial

Washington, DC

This event, on the Saturday before Election Day, will be a final opportunity to solicit candidate’s support of fathers’ issues before the election. Confirmed speakers include Stephen Baskerville, David Roberts of ACFC, David Levy of CRC, author Pearl Harbour, and others. This will be an opportunity to network with fathers’ and children’s rights activists from all around the U.S.
