Wear Orange Day

Wear Orange Day is a national day of awareness where we encourage everyone to wear orange in honor of Teen DV Month.Wear orange shirts, nail polish, ribbons, jewelry, shoes or anything else you can think of! Tell people why you are wearing orange and post pictures and updates on instagram or twitter or Facebook using the hashtags #Orange4Love and#RespectWeek2016.

Help raise awareness for Teen Dating Violence. Join me on social media, encourage others to join the cause, wear orange, host a wear orange contest, create displays, join in on the announcement this Friday, hang up posters, start a conversation, and....

What things can you think of to help raise awareness on teen dating violence?

Did you see the psa from No More that aired during the Super Bowl

I hope you all join me this week- even if you just send out one tweet or wear orange- it's important to spread awareness on teen dating violence. 1 in 3 is too many.

Best to all,
Becca

Ways to Get Involved Online

The Speak Out Against...book tour continues with Brooke (Break From You) and Noelle (Outcast) and ways to get involved with online campaigns.

Hi everyone! It’s me, Brooke, from Break From You and Noelle from Outcast. We're here to raise awareness on dating abuse and bullying

Brooke from Break From You says: "As a victim of dating abuse, I know how important it is to speak out against these devastating issues. Breaking away from an abusive relationship is hard and it’s important to know that there are people and organizations out there to help. I’m amazed at how common dating abuse it. I just found out that 1 in 3 teens are in an abusive relationship. I thought I was the only one. So I'm here to share with everyone some ways to Speak out and get involved with online campaigns."





Noelle from Outcast says: "It's not always easy to stand up to bullies. Believe me, I know. But it's absolutely essential that you advocate for yourself anyway. Whether you're bullied at school, at home, or on the Internet, you can stand up for yourself by breaking the silence. Reach out to friends and family who understand. Or, connect with others through organizations or online chat groups. Don't make the same mistakes I made."





It's important to Speak Out Against...dating abuse and bullying. You can do so by joining an online campaign.

I Choose Campaign



The “I Choose” campaign is a challenge and movement for change. It’s about recognizing bullying for what it is: a choice. What you say or do to someone has the power to affect that person’s life. The campaign challenges people to stop, think and remember that their choices matter.

what you look like, what your race is, what your

to be bullied!
