Educate Not Incarcerate fathers for failure to pay child support!

Educate Not Incarcerate fathers for failure to pay child support!
Why this petition matters
You cannot move One Million Moms OFF the Welfare System without addressing the needs of fathers. In a report sent to congress from the Department of Health and Human Services, they found that child support was a key indicator in determining how long a mother would stay on welfare. If fathers are supported and not incarcerated in mass numbers, they would be able to provide a strong financial future for their children. Unfortunately, this is not the case for low income Specifically African Americans who make up about 14% of the US population but more than half of the prison and welfare populations.
