Campaign Against Domestic Violence
Believing that domestic violence will end only when it is no longer acceptable, Casa de Esperanza, a national Latina domestic violence organization, today launched its Hope Campaign to challenge people across the country to take action in their daily lives to create a world free from domestic violence.
Sponsored by Verizon Wireless, the national Hope Campaign puts the work of ending domestic violence in the hands of individuals and communities. A new, interactive Web site - www.casadeesperanza.org/hope-campaign - offers tools, tips and ideas for people to get involved in the Hope Campaign, including taking the Pledge of Hope - a personal commitment to ground relationships in love, respect and understanding.
In addition to taking the Pledge of Hope, the Campaign provides:
-- Access to resources and information about domestic violence and ways
to promote healthy relationships.
-- Ideas to support domestic violence prevention through fundraising
events with the Hope Campaign or by donating no-longer-used cell
phones to HopeLine®, Verizon Wireless's phone recycling program.
-- Tools for shelter or agency workers to help explain domestic violence
to children and other community members.
A key element of the Hope Campaign is new audio and video public service announcements, available in both English and Spanish, that remind us of the positive impact we all can make through our words and actions. To preview or order the PSAs, visit www.casadeesperanza.org/hope-campaign.
The Hope Campaign was created from the belief that no one is born violent - violence is a learned behavior. We all have the opportunity and responsibility to take small, but important, action in our daily lives and to promote hope, not fear and peace, not violence.
