16 signatures so far! Petition created by: Tj Harris We have National holidays/days of note for many things, mostly for historic events or people. Nearly all have one thing in common today, they have little to do with the actual event & more to do with putting money in the pocket of someone who already has plenty. I would like an event put on the calender that is all about those who have little, an event that may be of commercial benefit, but more for the have nots, those so often over looked & sometimes worse; Looked down on. This petition is being sponsered by the Invisible Youth Network & is already active in other networks/places, some of its members have even printed copies and are walking the streets to gather signatures. Will you help? Send a letter to your Representatives (World Wide) 16 have signed so far - help us get to 1,000.  We have achieved 1.6% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress We, the members of Invisible Youth Network, would like to see that children all over the world are recognized. How can we do that? By having a National Event. We at the Invisible Youth Network would like to see a Youth Outreach Day become a National event to be held every second Saturday of October. In doing this, each community can put on a Fair, Cook-out, Craft-sale or other event. They would raise money for their at risk and homeless children and also if they want, donate to an organization for homeless and at risk youth. We will be writing Representatives to enact a National Event on the calendar for Youth Outreach Day to be celebrated every second Saturday of October & would be most gratefully of your support for this proposal. There are a lot of homeless and at risk youth in the United States alone. In fact it is estimated there are approximately 1.5 million. If we can enact this event here in the USA, we at IYN believe that other nations will do so & we may start to truly address the hardships faced by homeless & at risk youth around the globe. Despite our motto "Advocating for America’s Youth," our endeavors are focused on all homeless and at risk youth with no regard to their geographic location. Mahatma Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," and with that in mind, the Invisible Youth Network envisions better lives for children who cannot see it themselves.
