We Stand with the Never Again Movement!

Tuesday, February 20th, 2018

It is unusual for a corporation or company or business to take civil rights stands or even political stands – although in fact, where they put their money and who they embrace as friends takes strong stands that the public cannot see and does not know about.  It is time for those stands to be taken clear, unequivocal and in public. Businesses and their public interest groups lobby Congress for all kinds of things to benefit their corporation and the communities it serves.  This time, stand up and stand with our and your children.  Make a very public statement that you are standing up for and with these young people.

Bettina Network, inc. stands with the young people who are the genesis of the movement against gun violence in Parklands, Florida.

We stand with the ‘Never Again’ Movement.

In the 1960’s the turning point in the Black Civil Rights Movement – the fight for equality which brought Martin Luther King, Jr. into prominence – was the point at which school children, very young school children, walking two by two walked into the dogs and fire hoses being used against those who simply wanted equal opportunity and equal rights .The detractors and those who fought against that movement took King’s life and the lives of many others.

Today, we have ignored those lessons and the lessons of the many other movements that went before to the point where our children are once again being called on to risk their lives, their education, the fullness of their youth to fight against those more interested in promoting violence, taking lives, doing everything except what is right in the control of guns to keep all of us safe.

It is enough!

It is time for every corporation in America and around the world to join us and stand with the Never Again Movement.

To bring a corporation into being – according to the laws under which corporations are created, the corporation is a person.  If that corporation has legal problems it has to be represented by an attorney just as an individual has to be.  All of the language of the corporate world shows the corporation is an entity that is treated as an individual and that enjoys protections and rewards under the laws of these United States, if they are incorporated in the United States – or other countries if they are created elsewhere.

Stand with these young people and support them as they call on Congress to stop taking money from the gun lobbies and as they outline where they are going and how they see themselves moving to save their lives and ours.  It is bad enough that our children have been made victims in this fight and now have to be the ones to take on the fight to save their lives and the lives of others.  Don’t be among those who leave our children out there alone fighting for themselves and fighting for each other.  That would be a tragedy and the crime of this society which should shame all of us.
