UPDATED: Here is the Ms Magazine article about the billboards. It was syndicated on Care2’s site.
Yesterday I had the privilege to meet Ray and Adele, the co-directors of hu_MAN Up, in Lancaster, PA. They’ve been involved in a number of efforts to challenge rape culture with their latest being three electronic billboard messages near the Franklin & Marshall campus. This is the one about street harassment. They’re determined to not just preach to the choir when it comes to these kinds of messages and hope that their billboard messages are reaching a lot of people who may not otherwise hear about rape culture or the need for consent and respect.
I’m writing an article about their billboards for Ms Magazine’s blog this week, so stay tuned.
They just received their 501c3 status and are fundraising to be able to do ads on buses and more billboard messages. Donate if you can!
