Say NO MORE to Domestic Violence

Every year, 12.7 million people are physically abused, assaulted, or stalked by their partners—and it's time we stand up and say no more. 

That’s the message behind NO MORE, a new organization that's promoting change and raising awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. Today, March 13, has been deemed NO MORE Day, as thousands of supporters of the movement join forces to officially launch the campaign.

NO MORE Day comes just on the heels of President Obama signing the Violence Against Women Act back into law but clearly we still have plenty more work to do: Like, did you know that one in four women will be abused by their partners in their lifetimes? Absolutely unacceptable. 

Get involved today by reading up on domestic violence and sexual assault, or share the NO MORE symbol (seen on the keychain at left) on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest to spread the word. Make sure to hashtag #NOMOREDay or #NOMORE with your pic.
