These Hands are Not For Hurting

A giant sheet of butcher paper is placed on the floor or a wall encouraging people (especially men) to trace their hands on this paper and sign their name. This action will speak to personal commitments to nonviolence and support for sexual assault survivors.

Silent Witness Project

Life-size outlines of women and men featuring anonymous survivor stories, statistics, etc. These can be made of butcher paper and hung on the walls or wood with freestanding bases.

Quilting

This can be done with paper or cut up fabric. Each person will take their own piece of the quilt and incorporate their word of empowerment. Each individual piece will be attached to the other pieces to form the community quilt.

Clothesline Project

Each participant will decorate a tee shirt displaying their emotions about violence and their empowerment word. This can be done with markers, cut up with scissors, etc. These tee shirts will be hung out on a clothesline or otherwise publicly displayed.
