We would be no where without our generous supporters! Thanks to donations made last year, we were able to launch the first-ever National Street Harassment Hotline and cover the monthly costs of running it since July.
Here’s what one caller shared with us (and she said we could share it here):
“I am very excited to find this program exists. It feels a niche that has needed to be filled for a long time. I spent days searching the Internet before I found this program and it is a beautiful thought. There isn’t much support for people who experience street harassment and even friends can have a difficult time coming up with words to say. I hope the program receives enough funds to keep going and growing forever.”
In its first four months, the National Street Harassment Hotline has served more than 125 people like her, all across the country. It is offered toll-free, 24/7, in English and Spanish, by phone and IM chat.
Today, for #GivingTuesday, please donate to help us keep the hotline going and growing!
All money donated beyond the hotline fundraising goal will help fund the 2017 Safe Public Spaces Mentoring teams and allow us to hire a consultant to update the laws relevant to street harassment that are listed state-by-state in our Know Your Rights Toolkit (which we released in 2013).
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Everyone who donates at least $15 will receive these stickers! Our work is possible thanks to the generosity of people like you!
