Stop Telling Women to Smile is hosting an International Wheatpasting Night during the Week, April 13. The form to participate is still pending…stay tuned.
GLOBAL TWEETATHON
Please join the Tweetathon on April 10! Tweet about street harassment issues any time that day (any time zone, any language) while using #EndSH in your tweets (feel free to use other hashtags, too). Be sure to check out the other Twitter and Webinar events, too.
BLOGGING!
It’s not too late – if you wish to guest blog during the week (or have an entry cross-posted from your blog, any language), please email stopstreetharassment@gmail.com, with a short pitch.
I want to close with words of gratitude to all of you for taking the time and effort to be part of this Week. Obviously it wouldn’t be possible without people organizing actions and participating!! After eight years of spearheading the Week, I know that it makes a difference at the local and global level.
Now, it’s time to Meet Us on the Street and raise awareness together!
Thank You,
Holly Kearl, Stop Street Harassment Founder
