June 8-22, 2008 - 2nd Annual White
Ribbon Campaign
 |
LEVI is kicking off
our 2nd Annual White Ribbon Campaign, June
8 - June 22, 2008. The campaign focuses on men working to end
violence against women. We will consider this successful
when men rally together to end domestic violence and
sexual violence. Historically, these issues have been
relegated as just “women’s issues”.
Men in our community are needed to step up if we are
to have any additional affect on reducing domestic
violence in Longmont.
If you are concerned about violence
against women in the Longmont community and want
to get involved, please click
here to learn more about the White Ribbon Campaign.
