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

Hi, folks!  A few things about the two free bumper stickers:

 

1.       The stickers are still at the printer until about October 1, so it’ll be a few days before you receive them. 

2.       The link is wrong – it won’t work with a period at the end.  Try http://www.voicesofmen.org/store.html to see pictures of the stickers.

3.       When you email Lucinda () please give her your mailing address.  It’s been great getting all the eager “We want the stickers” emails, but we can’t send them to you without your address.

4.       We already have 43 people who have requested the free stickers!  But we can only give away free ones to the first 100 people who write back – after that, it’ll cost you $1/sticker plus shipping.  So far, we’re mailing them all over the US, and as far away as Pakistan! 

5.       If you love the designs and you want to buy hundreds of them for October, great!  Contact us soon so they’ll get to you in time. 

 

If some of you didn’t see yesterday’s bumper sticker email (“what stickers?  What’s he talking about?”) it’s copied below. 

 

Keep up the great work, friends!  And I hope to see many of you at the conference in Tacoma – just a few weeks away!

Yesterday’s email (in case you missed it):

 

As most of you know, October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
This year, we've created two new purple bumper stickers for the month - one
says "Stop Blaming the Victim" and the other says "Another Man Against Men's
Violence Against Women." The "Stop Blaming the Victim" one has
victim-blaming phrases in the background, saying things like "Why doesn't
she just leave," "She has low self-esteem" and "I provoke him." See the
designs at http://www.voicesofmen.org/store.html -  My thanks to friends,
colleagues and my Advisory Board for help with the design and content.

The stickers are $1 each, but the first 100 people who write to my wonderful
wife Lucinda (NOT me) will receive two stickers for free. We will even pay
the postage! You can choose one of each, two of one, or even a sexual
violence bumper sticker with a domestic violence one. Any more than two,
you'll need to pay - we take credit card, PayPal, checks etc. Lucinda's
email is and she's CCd on this email.

In addition, please consider bringing "Voices of Men" to your community. If
you've never seen the play, please take a moment to view clips at my website
below. I even have a couple of dates left in October!

Many thanks for your essential work.
