WHY SHOULD YOU join and support the National Association to PROTECT Children? Ask the 4 million members of the National Rifle Association. Or the 35 million members of the AARP. Those Americans know that there is power in numbers. Now, for the first time ever, there's a nonpartisan grassroots lobby that is fighting for the one thing that you care the most about: protecting children from child abuse, exploitation and neglect.
The more members we have, the more political muscle we wield. While PROTECT relies heavily on grassroots effort and volunteer support, becoming a member does not mean that you have to participate directly in our activities. By simply adding your name to our membership, you help us send a powerful message to your legislators. And as a member, you will receive updates on all of our activities including our grassroots action.
If you're tired of seeing hurt and scared children treated like the least important priority in America, do something about it! JOIN PROTECT AND START WINNING!
