#IWill Social Media Campaign

#IWill Social Media Campaign


There are few times in life when we have an opportunity to make an impact, and one of those times is right now. We’re calling upon you to lend your voice and help us share an important message focusing on violence prevention.

We’ve seen the viral #metoo response, a rallying cry from sexual harassment victims, filling our social media feed. The sheer quantity of the #metoo posts has left many of us feeling powerless and heartbroken. The news reports are unending with the same theme…people in positions of power taking advantage of others on a continuum ranging from sexual harassment to rape.

Help us be a part of the solution! We have varied voices and together we can go beyond awareness. We’re launching the social media campaign, #IWill, but we can’t implement it alone. Simply put, #IWill will address YOUR personal commitment of what YOU will do to help end sexual violence.

Join us and post a photo of you holding a sign/poster with your commitment written out. For example, #IWill use language that does not demean women; #IWill challenge victim blaming; #IWill speak up and not laugh at demeaning jokes; #IWill teach my children that everyone, regardless of gender or gender identity, deserves to be in a safe and healthy relationship…

Need some inspiration?

Let’s get this movement going…post your photo today and tag @verahouseinc!

A Message to Andrew Cuomo

“The Friends of Andrew Cuomo” spent over $300,000 to launch an ad campaign designed to paint former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a victim of political attacks because of the sexual harassment claims against him. We cannot allow this gaslighting to continue while the ad revictimizes victims of not only Cuomo’s sexual harassment but ANYONE who has ever experienced abuse. The tactics used by Cuomo and his supporters further represent the barriers that survivors face every day that prevent them from coming forward and getting support. 

 

We at Vera House have asked Andrew Cuomo to take accountability for the harm he has caused on multiple occasions. Instead of admitting to his wrongdoings, he continues to use power and control to suppress and invalidate the truths of the survivors.  Today we released a video, produced by Solon Quinn Studios and supported by Survivors’ Network, that sends a powerful message to survivors, "I believe you."  

 

We are asking you to help us amplify the video so that survivors throughout New York and the rest of the world know that we believe and stand with them. 

 

Here’s how to get involved:  

1. Share our post on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter  

2. Engage with our content on Instagram and TikTok   

3. Share survivor support resources from your organization  

4. Tag @verahouseinc
