J.P. Morgan Funding DART Hate Advertising

Excerpt from article by David R. Usher

This advertising campaign is not only hate of men, it bears hate of afro-Americans as well. The greatest danger of the DART campaign is that it builds the false notion that children are safer in the custody of mothers.

An analysis¹ of the data in the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Child Maltreatment reports from 2001-2006, shows that:

70.8% of children killed by one parent are killed by their mothers!
70.6% of children abused by one parent are abused by their mothers!
60% of the victims are boys!

Last week, Glenn Sacks² and Ned Holstein³ notified the public that for the month of October, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has plastered billboards all over its buses, promoting the falsehood that only men ever commit domestic violence.

See the pictures below:

Now, let everyone draw this bank down to the ground. In addition to withdrawing your funds, please contact Elaine Agather, Chairman of Chase Bank, Dallas Region at elaine.agather@jpmorganchase.com. Give her a firm but polite piece of your mind.

Let her know that:

• 71% of children killed by one parent are killed by their mothers.⁵
• DART’s publicity campaign promoting the falsehood that women are always victims, never abusers, has the effect of promoting policies that will inevitably cause more child deaths.
• Since DART’s publicity campaign is already in progress, simply stopping the campaign will not undo the damage they’ve already done.
• The only way DART can undo the damage and save the lives of the children they’ve put at risk is for them to:
  
  1. Immediately take down all signs and billboards and stop all advertisement related to their current campaign, and
  2. Require the Family Place to allocate a budget equal to the budget for the current campaign, and run an equally prominent campaign to inform the public: “Fathers Are Best: 71% of children killed by one parent are killed by their mothers, and 60% of the dead children are boys.” This might sound a bit aggressive, but it is necessary to correct the hateful attitudes inculcated by the current advertising campaign.
