It's my Birthday -- Celebrate by voting for Hollaback!
Today is Hollaback co-founder Emily May's birthday (that's me!). Help me celebrate by clicking this button and voting for Hollaback. The polls close at the end of the day tomorrow. Each vote is a wish for safer streets: Harassment and assault are on a spectrum of violence against women. Like other forms of violence against women, victims tend to stay quiet. Of our readers, 20% of you reported in our recent survey that you didn't hollaback because you "secretly wonder if it's your fault." To end of the cycle of violence, we need to break the silence. Hollaback's newest project uses brains over brawn to fight street harassment. By giving you the ability to report and map street harassment with the touch of an iPhone button, we will let the world know that street harassment is not OK, one hollaback at a time. To vote for Hollaback, click here. You will need to click on the blue "thumbs up" on the right, sign in, and create an account. Once you have a created an account you will need to click on the link again and vote. $25,000 will give us the funding to secure a new website and develop the iPhone application. You are the changemaker you seek. |
