Send a Valentines Day eCard!!

To help celebrate Massachusetts White Ribbon Day 2009, we are encouraging local events organized around the issuance of a city/town/county proclamation.

Public activities and visible celebrations of men’s and boy’s commitment and leadership can help stop sexual assault, domestic violence and violence against women before it starts.

You can get started by contacting the Jane Doe Inc. member organization in your area and find out if they are planning an event.

These public events give us opportunities to interrupt the social norms, such as learned behavior about power and control, stereotypes and gender dynamics, which result in violent behaviors including sexual assault and domestic violence.

Looking for other inspiration? We’ve put together a sampling of community projects that aim to bring about social change and help create a world free of abuse.

Year round sampling of projects
As you read through these pages, you’ll see that some of these activities can be done on your own, while others require connecting with other men and boys. The ideas provided here are meant to be jumping off points.

There are many ways to conduct a White Ribbon Campaign and to engage men and boys in conversation and action about these issues. We’re excited to learn from you.
