Fatherhood Coalition Marks "FatherLESS Day"
       Fathers Rights advocates from New England will march in Boston and Concord, NH on Friday, June 17 in a mock celebration of “FatherLESS Day.” Similarly-themed marches will take place in numerous other cities across the U.S.
       The Boston march will begin at 11:30 from Quincy Market, and is scheduled to finish at 1 p.m. at the State House. Several courthouses on the route will be “disinfected.” The Concord march will begin at 3 p.m. in front of the New Hampshire State House.
       Participants in Boston are asked to gather at the 2nd floor rotunda in Quincy Market at 10:30 a.m. Those marching in New Hampshire should arrive at the NH State House by 2:30 p.m.
       In keeping with the spirit of Fathers-4-Justice in England, where the organization began, the marchers will spice their serious message with whimsy. Besides holding pictures of the children they have lost resulting from insensitive and biased family court decisions, they intend to command attention in the street with noisemakers such as whistles, horns, and drums. Watch also for purple balloons and the ubiquitous purple hand prints that have become a trademark of the organization’s many public events in Great Britain.
