Call For Ambassadors

We invite men from all walks of life to become a White Ribbon Ambassador and add their voice in seeking solutions to end violence against women. It’s time for men and boys to stand up and say “YES” to healthy masculinity and “NO” to violence against women.

The basic role of an Ambassador is to:

Serve as an example to others by wearing the White Ribbon on February 14th

Recruit 5 or more friends and colleagues to wear the ribbon on that day

Participate in local proclamation events and other activities to promote Massachusetts White Ribbon 2009

Give permission for name to be published in print and web materials.

Lend your support by making a personal donation, soliciting their company/organization to make a contribution and finding other ways to speak out.

We’ve created tools to help you be a White Ribbon Day Ambassador.
