MEN & FAMILIES MARCH
“It’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
~ Frederick Douglass ~
Children raised without their father are at greater risk of almost every societal ill.
Why We March
“Systems are exploiting families, not protecting children.” ~ Carl Roberts
Systems created to protect children instead cause far more harm than good by pitting parents against one another and pushing one away. Systems fail children and parents when they dismiss parental rights, ignore due process protections, and move cases forward without a shred of evidence of harm. When systems deny children a fit and loving mother or father, they negatively impact a child’s health, safety, and well-being, often for a lifetime.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
We march to protect both parent-child relationships to build stronger children, more resilient families, and safer communities.
Our Mission
Protect the health, safety, and well-being of children whose parents separate or divorce.

Core Issues
Carl Roberts
Colorado spends over $1 billion each year on family court, CPS, and child support — yet nothing on prevention. Protecting parental rights, enforcing due process, and requiring real evidence could cut that expense in half.
Equal Shared Parenting
Parental rights are fundamental — they are God-given human rights and protected constitutional rights. Yet, courts and CPS routinely disregard them. To date, eight states have enacted some form of a rebuttable presumption of equal parenting.
Protect Child Well-being
The greatest threat to a child’s well-being is losing a loving parent. That threat often comes through false allegations and parental alienation — the most pervasive form of child abuse — enabled by courts and CPS.

November
Men's Equality Month
November is Men’s Equality Month — a call to face hard truths. Men and boys are falling behind in nearly every measure of well-being. By fourth grade, boys trail girls in every subject, drop out more often, and earn 19% fewer college degrees. Men live five years less on average and die at higher rates in 13 of the 15 leading causes of death. Yet there are seven federal Offices of Women’s Health — and none for men.
Women are more often perpetrators of domestic violence than men, yet 95% of funding, policies, and programs focus only on female victims. When custody is contested, mothers are awarded sole or primary custody in 80% of cases, even though mothers are statistically more likely to commit child abuse or be involved when a child dies at the hands of a parent. Divorced men die by suicide eight times more often than divorced women — largely because they are more likely to be pushed out of their children’s lives.
Equality isn’t equality if half the population is dismissed or devalued. In November, we confront bias, demand balance, and fight for fairness — for our sons, brothers, and fathers.
November 19th
International Men's Day
International Men’s Day is not just a celebration—it’s a statement. Men build, protect, invent, and sacrifice. They show up for their families, carry burdens quietly, and fight battles no one sees. Yet too often, they’re vilified, blamed, or ignored.
This day honors men for who they truly are: providers, protectors, mentors, and leaders. It’s a reminder that strength and compassion are not opposites, and that masculinity is not a problem to fix—it’s a gift to respect.
On , we stand tall for the men who hold our families and communities together. Join us as we celebrate men—and demand a culture that values them.
