Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Ben Atherton-Zeman - Feminist, Actor and Husband" <>]

A few years ago, I made up an "equality card" for Valentine's Day - we sold 
and gave them away, and teens sold them in their schools.  I still have the 
design and will happily give it to anyone who writes me - they're easy to 
print and fold - all you need are some envelopes.  

The front of the card features a heart with an equal sign in it.  Under the 
heart, it says:


Valentine don't just be "mine..."


then you open the card and it says,


Be YOURS, too!  


It's also called the "Valentine, Be Yours" campaign.  The main body of the 
card says the following:


Healthy Relationships on your Valentine's Day

 

Relationships should be about trust, love and support, not about control.  We 
hope that your Valentine supports your dreams and goals and listens 
respectfully to you, rather than being overly jealous and always needing to 
know where you are.  

 

Happy Valentine's Day from (insert agency name here)!



Finally, on the back it has a space to call a local hotline or volunteer.  
Feel free to change it around to suit your needs.  

Have a great weekend, everyone!  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

January 2007 quote:
"Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to.sexual confusion and homosexuality. 
 That's why most of the medical blame for today's rise in homosexuality must 
fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products."
