Hey !
I am excited to share this exclusive announcement of the 1 in 3 campaign with you. Today, Do Something will launch a campaign to raise awareness about Dating Abuse. You are the leaders of social action. Be the first to get involved.
The recent, highly publicized, example of dating violence between Chris Brown and Rihanna is gut-wrenching. No one has stepped up to speak out against dating violence. Celebrities and public figures are overwhelmingly silent about Chris Brown's unacceptable actions or Rihanna's decision to take him back. We will not stay silent.
1 in 3 teens is abused in a relationship. Do Something about it.
Got Questions? E-mail me at mstevenson@dosomething.org.
