SIGN PLEDGE!

The National Father's Day Pledge Against Violence is a nationwide movement to end violence in our country, state, homes, schools, and communities.

The first Father’s Day Pledge was held in NYC on June 2010 as a collaboration between NYC Council Member Julissa Ferreras and Quentin Walcott, Co-Executive Director of CONNECT, Inc. It struck a resonant chord with men of all ages, ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2014, the Pledge went national, and was immediately replicated in more than 50 cities across the United States. The credit for this nationwide adoption belongs to former Rochester (NY) Councilman Adam McFadden, former President of the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials (NBC-LEO) and National Father’s Day Pledge Co-Chair Ineabelle Geena Cruz, CEO Heels of Greatness, LLC / SAFER
