5,000 Men Campaign

5,000 Men Join Together to LIVERESPECT!

In the United States, men will rape 1 out of 6 women and men will physically abuse 1 out of 3 women. A CALL TO MEN invites men of all ages to say NO to violence against women by adding their name to a national demonstration of healthy manhood.

They are seeking 5,000 names by June 30, 2010.
