Please sign counter-petition to one on Change.org against AVfM's upcoming men's conferenence

By email:

A petition has been launched on Change.org urging that the First International Conference on Men's Issues be canceled via appeal to the conference venue's management. We have launched a counter-petition. If you could please sign and urge others to do so it would be appreciated. While petitions like this may seem not to matter, the local media in Detroit is taking it seriously, so a counter-petition seems like it will be helpful. Excerpt:

'To the City of Detroit and the World,

The Men's Human Rights Movement is a peaceful humanist civil rights movement, dedicated to compassion for men and boys. It is growing quickly due to support from people of every race, creed, color, gender, orientation, and ethnicity.

It has been subjected to vicious attacks by those who wish to silence people from talking about suicide, homelessness, education, poverty, domestic violence, sexual assault, and compassion for men who suffer from many of these problems at higher rates than most people realize--and who wish to do it free from vested outside interests and ideologies.

We are men and women, black and white, gay and straight, and we want to peacefully gather and talk.

Our global community is prepared to meet for the first time in a historic conference to take place in Detroit this June 26th-28th. The conference has been planned for nearly a year, and features many qualified and dynamic speakers from around the world.'
