SSH received 501c3 status just over two years ago, and with the expansion from website to organization came the creation of the board. I am so grateful to the founding board members who served the 2012-14 term and helped fundraise for the national street harassment study, participated in International Anti-Street Harassment Week, and more.
Our 2014-16 board starts their term today and I am so excited for you to meet them and read about their work. The board spans 9 states (AZ, CA, MD, MN, NE, NY, OH, TX, VA) and DC and include two professors researching street harassment, a lawyer (who also is behind Cards against Harassment), a college student, a public health advocate, an artist (who also works on Safe Streets AZ), and several nonprofit professionals with marketing, research, communications, and social media skills. They each bring important and needed perspectives to the issue and I have no doubt SSH will become a stronger organization with their help.
If you work with media, they are available for interviews on behalf of SSH going forward.
