Ridgewood NJ, RISE UP FOR CHILDREN is an awareness campaign initiated by Operation Underground Railroad. It was inspired by Founder and CEO Tim Ballard’s remarks he made in this video on Sunday, July 12. Child trafficking is not a conspiracy theory. It is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. 2020 has been a horrific year for our children. Since COVID-19 hit, The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has experienced a 90.46% increase in CyberTipline reports between January – June 2020 versus the same time period in 2019, and the numbers are rising.
WHY JULY 30TH?
July 30th is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Please note: Human Trafficking Awareness Day is in January, so please say “World Day Against Trafficking” when you spread the word.
Take the Pledge of Commitment
By registering as a participant of this O.U.R. event, you are agreeing to the following:
My Commitment as a Participant in the RISE UP FOR CHILDREN Demonstration
I understand that my participation in this demonstration means that I will be a representative of O.U.R. during this event. The phrases I say and the messages I write on any signs will accurately reflect the fight against child sex trafficking. I will commit to being peaceful and positive if I am encountered by anyone who passes by who may be disrespectful to our demonstration. I will strive to keep the environment family-friendly as there may be children participating. I will not shame any companies that have been in recent conspiracy theories, as I understand those theories are not confirmed. I will not be disrespectful to other recent protests. I will not use the word “DEFUND”.

So many rallies.
How about a rally against mongo housing developments…?
Including Sealfons and the Ginormous Gararge, there are 5 major construction projects occurring in the Village.
Put me down for a protest against ruining the suburbs of which RW is one of the poster child. Look at this scary opinion piece:

Just remember “moderate” Dems, you are not voting for Joe. You are really voting for those that are easily manipulating him.
Eagle,
I’m with you. Biden will destroy this country. We’ll have the same thing as Obama but worse. One thing I’ve noticed is that there aren’t many Biden signs. I’ve only seen one sign in town. When Hillary was running there were tons of “I’m with her” signs. The smart people know Biden is an idiot. People will go to the polls and vote for Trump but will never admit it.
Do these protests and Rally’s need to file for permits with the town? Finally something I agree with. Not sure why it is held so late and hopefully they stay in the park and it does not turn into a neusance.
How about organizing a blue lives matter protest? Ridgewood seems to be the new protest spot.
The dam liberals Will take care of it.
If no one believes this exists, check out Joachim Hagopian. He is a West Point graduate. Former US Arm Officer with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Worked as a licensed therapist in the mental health field for over a quarter century.
He now concentrates on his writing and has a blog site at Empire Exposed.
Thanks to people like him the darkness is being exposed. What is going on is so vile I am speechless.
To all of you upset about this rally, not protest, maybe you should read what it’s for before writing comments. This is a fight to protect children, politics aside. This is a fight to gain more resources for our police to protect these victims and our children from this threat. Children need to be protected from exploitation and pedophiles and I think that is something that everyone can agree on and get loud about on July 30th.
