By encouraging people to do #1Thing for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we acknowledge that everyone has a role to play, no matter how small, in our collective effort to transform our communities.

Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and power of individuals, families, institutions, and systems – each whose “one thing” adds a valuable and powerful component to transforming our communities.

“The things you say every day send a message about your beliefs and values. When you stand up for survivors of sexual violence, you send a powerful message that you believe and support them.” – National Sexual Violence Resource Center

Each March, the United States observes Women's History Month, thirty-one days celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of women, both in historical and contemporary society. While history months are obviously about "looking back," this Women's History Month we believe the time is right to lift up those who are making history right now.

“We are shouting from the rooftops that the only way to change – to truly irreversibly create lasting change in our culture – is to start with our youth.”
