Hope for Healing.Org Director to Speak at Lincoln Memorial in DC

.
On November 14, 2009, Gayle D’Ambrosio Crabtree will join with other speakers to show unilateral support for victims of child sexual assault at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The rally is being organized by the foundation of Family and Friends Fighting Against Child Sexual Assault (FACSA). According to the FACSA website ( www.facsasavethechildren.com) a child is molested in the U.S. every 4 seconds and only 1:10 victims will ever disclose the abuse. The rally by FACSA is important in breaking down the barriers that keep child sexual abuse victims silent.

Activities begin at 10:00 am and will continue into the evening. A growing list of participants is coming from all around the United States to support victims. A preliminary list includes: FACSA, Hope for Healing.Org, Speaking Out Against Child Abuse, Stop the Silence and more. For more information on the FACSA Rally call (318)938-2882 or (318) 578-0019 or visit www.facsasavethechildren.com
