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

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

Hello, friends!  I'm just curious - those of you who are using the "Equality 
Cards" this Valentine's Day - how are you using them?  Feel free to write me 
personally, but a discussion on the Yahoo group might prove useful for others 
who are looking for Valentine's Day programming ideas, especially with teens 
and young people.

If you are new to the list and don't know what I'm talking about, I'd be 
happy to send you the "Equality Cards" that I designed for Valentine's Day - 
they feature a heart with an equals sign in it.  The message is "Valentine - 
don't just be mine - be *yours*, too."  So it's also called the "Valentine, 
Be Yours" campaign.  There's a version encouraging healthy relationships for 
domestic violence prevention folks, and a version encouraging consent for 
sexual assault prevention folks.  

Thanks!  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

Quote of the Month, January 2008 (National Stalking Awareness Month)
"Empowerment, we are now asked to believe, is not about getting an education, 
not about becoming economically independent, not about taking control of our 
bodies, not about saving the environment, not about working toward social 
justice, but dressing a certain way and wearing the newest version of what 
ever t-shirt or body piecing we choose. Racism, sexism, and class privilege 
are still alive and well.We have exchanged the possibility of genuine change 
for feminism light and designer water."
