How will YOU shine the light on domestic violence?
We encourage you to participate in Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2014 by creating a message to shine a light on domestic violence.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Create your statement (use the ideas below for inspiration). Download this worksheet, or write it on any old piece of paper, on a chalkboard, in the snow, or….WHEREVER! And then snap a pic.
2. Post your statement (in a picture with you or on it’s own) on Violence Free Colorado’s Facebook page, on Instagram @ccadv1 (don’t forget to tag us!), or email them to apohl(at)violencefreeco.org.
Be sure to use #MessagesInMotion
3. Once you’ve posted your statement, encourage your friends to step into the spotlight and do the same. Use one of these sample Facebook post:
- Help Shine a Light on Domestic Violence by posting your own #MessageInMotion! Find our more at https://www.violencefreecolorado.org/be-involved/dvawarenessmonth/media-project/
- “Help me set the message in motion…Change your profile picture to a purple ribbon to support Domestic Violence Awareness Month!”
We’ll be collecting your statements throughout the month of October.
Questions to consider in creating your shining light statement:
*What do you want people to know or understand about domestic violence?
*Have you had an experience with domestic violence you would like to share? 
*What is a compelling statistic you’ve seen about DV?
*What is a healthy relationship behavior that is important to you?

Do it on your own or in your support group.
Questions to consider writing about:
*What was the final cut that led you to leave your relationship?
*What is the next scene in your story?
*What would the movie title of your life be? Then, what is your movie poster tag line?
*Who is the hero or heroine in your story?
*What does your happy ending look like and feel like?
2. Change your FB profile picture to a purple ribbon. Encourage your friends to do the same!
