      Since 2020, February 23rd marks the day my family again relives the tragic lynching of Ahmaud in Satilla Shores.  In less than twenty (20) days, I, as a father, bear the indescribable loss of a child.  There is no word in English to describe a parent’s loss of a child.  Today’s verdict in the Jackie Johnson trial is a bitter conclusion of the fight to hold Johnson criminally accountable. “We promised, at Ahmaud’s gravesite, that we would fight for complete justice for him, and we will continue to fight to get Justice for Ahmaud,” said Marcus Arbery, the father of Ahmaud Arbery.

On February 4, 2025, the Florida Department of Health and Department of Children and Families announced additional wraparound support for life from pregnancy and beyond with the launch of Strong Florida Moms. This new initiative advances Florida’s strong commitment to pro-life values by further supporting Florida women through motherhood and providing expanded resources on Father First, where dads can seek trusted information and vital resources on fatherhood. Whether preparing for pregnancy, navigating the first years of parenthood, or seeking community support, both sites aim to serve as a resource for all stages of parenting.
