Whereas, The League of United Latin American Citizens is the nation's oldest and largest Latino organization, founded in Corpus Christi, Texas on February 17,1929, and
 
Whereas, throughout its history has committed itself to the principles that Latinos be accorded equal rights before the Law and equal access to the opportunities in employment, education, housing, health care, and historically promoted the School of Four Hundred, which became the prototype of the nation's Head Start Educational Program, for the educational help of children; and
 
Whereas, there is a disturbing national trend wherein children, including Latino children, like Sandra Cantu of Tracy, California, have been tragically murdered, abused, and their God given human rights violated, The League of United Latin American Citizens is urged to promote the personal safety of children in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, and wherever children live, play, and walk. The League of United Latin American Citizens is urged to promote the end to the kidnapping and killing of children, both young boys and girls, and that they be protected from
pedophiles, from adults with intentions to harm children in anyway physical, mental, social, and in their health; and
 
Whereas, there have been too many children historically kidnapped, killed, sold for monetary profits by adults, let it be resolved that The League of United Latin American Citizens will vigorously promote the safety of children; and
 
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that National League of United American
Citizens believe in the safety of children and will promote the Safety of Children in all
environments wherein children find themselves, in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, public places, and herein name this promotion of Safety of Children the Sandra Cantu Safety Program for Children.
