Mission: CRISPE (Children's Rights Initiative for Sharing Parents Equally) is a non-profit organization works to improve the well being of children and youth by ensuring that children have access to both their parents EQUALLY. Too many children are growing up lack a meaningful relationship with the other parent. Federal programs are encouraging this problem more by refusing to give relief benefits to poor and minority families if they remain married or remain as family unit in the same household. The only people getting hurt by these federal programs are the children whom grow up never knowing that other parent. CRISPE seeks to educate our public officials on the benefits both parents contribute to their children and why children need both parents.
