Every day, parents, grandparents, caregivers, and individuals assisting loved ones face a challenge that is often overlooked: finding a safe, private restroom when caring for someone of the opposite sex or someone who needs assistance.

While many businesses have made great strides by adding family restrooms, countless public places still do not offer this option. Families are often left with impossible choices that can lead to uncomfortable, stressful, and sometimes unsafe situations.

This issue affects:

Fathers helping young daughters.
Mothers helping young sons.
Parents with multiple small children.
Grandparents caring for grandchildren.
Caregivers assisting elderly or disabled family members.
Individuals with disabilities who rely on a caregiver.
Every family deserves dignity, privacy, and a safe place to care for their loved ones.

We respectfully call on lawmakers, business leaders, architects, and developers to:

Encourage or require family restrooms in newly constructed and substantially renovated public buildings whenever practical.
Increase the availability of clean, secure, lockable family restrooms in retail stores, restaurants, parks, entertainment venues, airports, and other public spaces.
Consider the needs of families and caregivers when designing future public facilities.
This petition is not about placing blame on any business or individual. It is about finding practical solutions that make public spaces more welcoming, accessible, and family-friendly for everyone.

Millions of families encounter this challenge every year. Together, we can help ensure that future generations have access to the privacy, safety, and dignity every family deserves.

If you believe every family deserves a safe place to care for their loved ones, please add your name and help us create meaningful change.
