MEN: Stand Up - Speak Out (This Means YOU!)




Men,
I am asking you to register for Stand Up - Speak Out, a national conference organized by A Call to Men that will seriously address men's violence against women. A Call to Men is an organization that is working hard to educate boys and men about manhood, and to present solutions to end all forms of men's violence against women. Become a part of this movement by registering today.

5 Reasons why you should attend Stand Up - Speak Out:

1. You are a non-abusive man and do not condone men's violence against women.

2. You love and respect women.

3. You have a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, or grandmother and love them.

4. You witnessed your father emotionally or physically abuse your mother as a little boy growing up.

5. You want to be a part of a growing movement of men who are dedicated to addressing sexism and all forms of physical and sexual violence.


Bring your son, your brother, your best friend, your father, your co-worker, your mentor or mentee. We need your presence at this conference. I will be a guest moderator on one of the panel discussions and would love to see all of you there.

Man up. Be courageous. Be strong. Be tough. Be an ally to girls and women.

Don't punk out on this event. Stand Up and Speak Out. Be a man!

Women are more than welcome to attend. Your input is valued.

Please read a direct message from my friend and colleague Ted Bunch below. Forward this email to everyone you know, especially men. If you have questions about the conference, see the contact information below.

Peace,
