Reunion Online

We could not be more thankful for the opportunity to serve and for those that have partnered with us to make our services available over the last 8 years.

Throughout this weekend, images from the NFL Players Say NO MORE PSA shoots are running on Viacom billboards in Times Square every six minutes, asking passersby to add their voices to the campaign on social media with the question, “What’s your #NOMORE?”

The NO MORE PSAs with current and former NFL players premiere tonight during Thursday Night Football on CBS.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month begins, I am filled with hope and encouraged that people everywhere are talking about violence and abuse.

Like those of so many of you, my expectations for the NFL are for there to be deep and meaningful changes.

As is true with the process of healing from childhood trauma, finding a community of partners has been key to the success of the work of 1in6 since our founding days, over seven years ago. 

All survivors—women and men, boys and girls—have suffered enough. It's time we spoke openly, intelligently and compassionately about the men who have suffered the trauma of abuse.

A year ago, NO MORE launched a national campaign to end domestic violence and sexual assault. I had the chance to sit down with Joyful Heart’s CEO, Maile Zambuto, and the Creative Director of the NO MORE PSAs, Rachel Howald to get the behind the scenes look at the campaign.

It was middle school. I was playing a game in my head, scrambling letters of words to make other words. I thought of “grape” and all the words I could make using it: ape, pea, are, rap, peg. “What about rape?” I thought to myself. "Is that a word?" I asked my friend’s mom, my ride home that day, and her face immediately turned red. She said to never use it again. It was a “bad word.”
