Description

Last week six of us met in W.Philly to brainstorm ideas for the International Annual Anti-Street Harassment Day (March 20th) in Philadelphia.

We decided that we could contribute to this effort in the following capacities:

1. Outside: We could create a public spectacle on March 20th (that may include theater and dance) as a way to reclaim public space-- promoting the idea of safe streets and community. We discussed circulating b...usiness size cards with quotes or questions that get our message across to bystanders.

2. Inside: Leading up to the 20th, find spaces for people to perform spoken word pieces about street harassment and spread the word about the 20th (i.e. maybe Tuesday, March 15 at the Blockley?)

3. Online: We can raise consciousness online by sharing blogs, testimonials, articles, videos, etc. about street harassment via our online networks, particularly on the 20th. We want to encourage men to join this effort. We could gather all of the links on one page, website or event page, demonstrating collective activism-- and unified Philly voices!

Looking ahead:
If you would like to help plan or contribute to this effort, please identify in the COMMENTS section which aspect you would like to focus on: Inside, Outside, or Online.

And, if you just want to come out and/or spread the word, that's great too! Questions, ideas and feedback are welcome!
