THE STAY-AT-HOME MOMS MARCH
TAKES TO THE STREETS
BEGINNING FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16!
NEW JERSEY VACCINATION CHOICE RALLY & STAY-AT-HOME-MOMS MARCH
Autism One and Generation Rescue are delighted to join with you to begin a new era of autism advocacy that takes to the streets - your streets - to bring our message directly to the people who are causing - and profiting from - the epidemic.
The Stay-At-Home-Moms March is the start of the biggest autism uprising ever. The March begins with the "New Jersey Rallies for Choice" event on Friday, October 16 . . . There is no end date - we are not going away. The March is a campaign that will continue as long as necessary to end the epidemic, find justice for our children, and hold those accountable responsible for their actions.
Autism is the number one pediatric health crisis in the world today. Our community has waited and waited and waited for those in positions of power to protect the health of our children as the rates of autism and other chronic childhood diseases go up and up and up. We are not waiting any longer.
Welcome to the kickoff event of the Stay-at-Home Moms March. This Friday, October 16, starting at 4:00 pm in Wayne, New Jersey, at William Paterson University, Life Health Choices and the NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice conjunction with Generation Rescue and AutismOne takes to the streets.

Hi Michelle: You asked about the term "stay-at-home moms." So often, moms and dads are intensively caring for their children, driving to therapies and medical appointments, running home educational/behavioral programs, working outside the home, juggling finances, etc., etc., etc. to such an extent that it is challenging for them to fly to events in Washington, DC, or travel to their state capital. Yet these same parents may very much want to be more involved in advocacy and to support or spearhead local initiatives to effect positive change. There are many ways to help closer to home.

Can someone explain the name of this march to me "Stay at home moms" - what the heck does that mean?

A minor quibble perhaps, but what about calling it the "Stay At Home Parents" march instead to be more inclusive to the SAHDs.

The CDC study released in 2000, the one that gave us the 1 in 150 number, showed back then that New Jersey had a one in 100 8 year-olds diagnosed with autism, two times the number found in West Virginia. NJ seemed to have been the autism epicenter in 2000.
