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

["Juliette Grimmett" <>]

Reminder to wear red tomorrow!

"It's so liberating and important for men to understand that they can
actually be friendly to women instead of playing some gender-specific
role, and that women are in most ways the same as they are. I think that
lots of women already know that, but not so many guys do."  -my dad

*"be bold be brave be red stop the violence"*

Recent events in the United States have moved us to action. Violence
against
women is sadly, not a new phenomenon in our country or in the world,
however, in the last year women of color have experienced brutal forms
of
violence, torture, rape and injustice which have gone unnoticed,
received
little to no media coverage, or a limited community response. We are
responding to:

   - The brutal and inhumane rape, torture, and kidnapping of Megan
   Williams in Logan, West Virginia who was held by six assailants for
a month.


   - Rape survivors in the Dunbar Housing Projects in West Palm Beach,
   Florida one of whom was forced to perform sexual acts on her own
child.


   - A 13 year old native American girl was beaten by two white women
and
   has since been harassed by several men yelling "white power" outside
of her
   home


   - Seven black lesbian girls attempted to stop an attacker and were
   latter charged with aggravated assault and are facing up to 11 year
prison
   sentences

In a *Litany of Survival*, Audre Lorde writes, "When we are silent, we
are
still afraid. So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant
to
survive." These words shape our collective organizing to break the
silence
surrounding women of color's stories of violence. We are asking for
community groups, grass-root organizations, college campus students
and
groups, communities of faith, online communities, and individuals to
join us
in speaking out against violence against women of color. If we speak
"together" we cannot be invisible.
