Coalition Launches New Website
The Coalition to End Child Marriage launched a new website last month to formalize its collaborative activities. JPus is a founding member of the coalition. Its JPs and notary members are strongly opposed to officiating a marriage involving minor children. More information about JPus’ advocacy in this area is available here.

Coalition: End Child Marriage
Following a vote of its membership, the Justice of the Peace Association joined the Coalition to End Child Marriage.
Ninety-five percent of the votes cast by JPus members were in favor of joining the Coalition, which unites advocates working to end all marriages of children younger than 18 in the United States. The Coalition will pursue federal legislation and other approaches to achieve its goal.
