Dear Supporter,

16 days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence has officially started this Thursday, November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.  If you're looking for ways to take action during this campaign, we want to invite you to SHOW UP, SPEAK UP AND STAND UP against gender-based harassment. 

Remember that we can all help to stop normalizing the culture that makes harassment seem acceptable. This week, we have some simple ideas for you on how you can contribute and take action:

• STAND UP and attend one of our free Stand Up Against Street Harassment Trainings in partnership with Loreal Paris the NYC Commission on Gender Equity, the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence, and the Fayetteville State University. From November 25 to December 10th, we are delivering trainings on a daily basis. We invite you to register for these upcoming dates:

• SPEAK UP and share these trainings on social media using the hashtag #WeStandUp. Here is a suggested caption you can use: 

  • Click here to tweet: These #16Days, we join @ihollaback and @lorealparisusa in the movement to end gender-based violence, by changing the culture of gender-based harassment that enables it. Stand Up - Speak Up - Show up. Take action at ihollaback.org/16days. #WeStandUp

• Another way to SPEAK UP is by sharing your story of harassment to show others they aren't alone — and that harassment is never OK. Share your story here.
  
  
• SHOW UP and join the 16 Days Stand Up TikTok Challenge with us and L'Oreal Paris to show support to those who have experienced gender-based harassment. Stay tuned for more details on the Challenge and how we can use TikTok to empower our youth to intervene and change culture!

Stay tuned because we will have more special events and other ideas and ways to take action. Click here for more information on our activities during 16 Days of Activism. Make sure you follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, and Twitter for real-time updates.

With Love, 
Hollaback!
