Support fatherhood and help end fatherlessness by signing this petition to have the Biden Administration, Federal Government and every state in our great nation, declare June as National Intentional Fatherhood Month.

There have been many resolutions signed in the past two years and not one is more important than this declaration. There are more than 20 million kids without a biological father in the home and millions more with a physically present, but emotionally absent father. Fatherlessness is the number one epidemic in our society today and no one is talking about it.

Every single societal issue can be traced back to the lack of a father or engaged father in the life of a child. This includes the most pressing issues in our country today like drug abuse, depression and suicide, teenage pregnancy, childhood obesity, and poverty. School shootings have been tied to fatherlessness and I asked Operation Underground Railroad founder, Tim Ballard, what percentage of trafficked kids have fatherlessness and he said, "100%!".

This resolution will help organizations like Daddy Saturday, Fatherhood Festival, DadZoneTour, and BestMan Media further support and develop men in the seven roles that a father plays in the life of his children: provider, protector, leader, teacher, helper, encourager, and friend.

The only official celebration of fatherhood is on June 18 and is called Father’s Day. Fatherhood has been relegated to a Hallmark Holiday and the entire month of June has officially been declared #pridemonth and #juneteenth and the government, corporations and the media are celebrating the breakdown of the family, the removal of the father from the home, the redefinition of marriage, parenting and gender identity, and the advancement of evil towards children.

Sign this petition now to bring fatherhood to the forefront and to end fatherlessness.

I was looking at the screen and realized how much this has grown and it really just hits you that people are finally ready to talk about the reality of fatherlessness. It is honestly wild to think that so many of you are picking up this torch because I remember when I was just staring at a blank page thinking no one would care about this stuff.

Fatherhood can never be understated. We need dads in the home to keep the family grounded and directed.

Father’s Day should no longer be e a day that I mourn my fatherlessness, but the middle of a 30-day stretch that I’m battling to end it!

There is no greater need than to declare the importance of both parents in the lives and livelihood of our children. Our and their future DEPENDS on it!
