Let Tara, Patricia, Michelle, and Vickie Wake You Up at the Protecting Families Rally
In light of published reports in local papers, national rulings taking place in family courts throughout the country, the recent film release of Kids for Cash, and the recent sentencing of admitted felon and former Lackawanna County Guardian Ad Litem Danielle Ross to 12 months in prison, the time is now to raise awareness of the need for judicial reform, according to rally co-organizer Tara Koval.
Permits have been obtained to hold the Protect Families in memory of Senator Nancy Schaefer event on the Courthouse Square in Scranton on Saturday, April 26, from noon to 3 p.m. We are currently compiling a list of speakers, including recent Civil Rights Hall of Fame inductee Jesse Epps, civil rights advocate and 2014 Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania's Eleventh Congressional District seat Andy Ostrowski, as well as local speakers who themselves have experienced court abuse, added Patricia Kreidler, co-organizer of the event.
The rally organizers intend to fashion it into a family day used to inform, educate, and inspire the community to get involved and demand meaningful and needed change in the court system. Family-friendly activities are planned, including face painting, and live music will be provided by OG LAW/God's Love at Work, a Philadelphia group. Food trucks will be present and other groups and media organizations are being encouraged to get involved and participate the outing.
It is important for people to attend to find out how their family members are vulnerable and take actions to stop this abuse, said Koval. Kreidler continued, Mr. Epps asked for help in his struggles when helping to lead the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike championed by Martin Luther King Jr. on that fateful assassination day in 1968. What King meant to the civil rights movement, murdered Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer has meant to advocates of family court reform. An Independent Gazette video of Schaefer may be found at
We are proud to help sponsor this important event, says Lou Jasikoff, publisher of the Independent Gazette. We have been swamped with the testimonies of people coming forward since first reporting on this story in February — it is one that needs to be told and thoroughly investigated. See
A facebook event page has been created for the April 26 rally called Protecting Families in memory of Senator Nancy Schaefer. To keep up with the most recent events browse to the facebook event linked to at the top of this description. People from across the nation are welcome to attend on Saturday, April 26, from noon to 3 p.m. The time to act is now, attendance and participation are needed to effectuate the changes that are required in our government, says Koval.

SUMMARY
=======
Scranton is the sixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is the county seat of Lackawanna County in Northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and hosts a federal court building. With a population of 77,291, it is the largest city in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a population of about 570,000.Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna River valley, and the largest of the former anthracite coal mining communities in a contiguous quilt-work that also includes Wilkes-Barre, Nanticoke, Pittston, and Carbondale. Scranton was incorporated on February 14, 1856, as a borough in Luzerne County and as a city on April 23, 1866. It became a major industrial city, a center of mining and railroads, and attracted thousands of new immigrants. It was the site of the Scranton General Strike in 1877.
People in northern Luzerne County sought a new county in 1839 but the Wilkes-Barre area resisted losing its assets. Lackawanna County did not gain independent status until 1878. Under legislation allowing the issue to be voted by residents of the proposed territory, voters favored the new county by a proportion of 6 to 1, with Scranton residents providing the major support. The city was designated as the county seat when Lackawanna County was established in 1878, and a judicial district was authorized in 1879.
The city took its first step toward earning its reputation as the Electric City when electric lights were introduced in 1880 at Dickson Locomotive Works. Six years later, the nation's first streetcars powered exclusively by electricity began operating in the city. Rev. David Spencer, a local Baptist minister, later proclaimed Scranton as the Electric City.

SUMMARY
=======
Pennsylvania, officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a state located in the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The Appalachian Mountains run through its middle. The Commonwealth is bordered by Delaware to the southeast, Maryland to the south, West Virginia to the southwest, Ohio to the west, Lake Erie and the Canadian province of Ontario to the northwest, New York to the north, and New Jersey to the east.
Pennsylvania is the 33rd-largest state by area, and the 6th-most populous state according to the last official U.S. Census count in 2010. It is the 9th-most densely populated of the 50 states. Pennsylvania's two most populous cities are Philadelphia (1,567,872), and Pittsburgh (303,625). The state capital and its 10th largest city is Harrisburg. Pennsylvania has 140 miles (225 km) of waterfront along Lake Erie and the Delaware Estuary.The state is one of the 13 original founding states of the United States; it came into being in 1681 as a result of a royal land grant to William Penn, the son of the state's namesake. Part of Pennsylvania (along the Delaware River), together with the present State of Delaware, had earlier been organized as the Colony of New Sweden. It was the second state to ratify the United States Constitution, on December 12, 1787. Independence Hall, where the United States Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution were drafted, is located in the state's largest city of Philadelphia. During the American Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in the south central region of the state. Valley Forge near Philadelphia was General Washington's headquarters during the bitter winter of 1777–78.
