Join us for the month of October for our 50 for 50 Campaign!

Statistic: 50 out of 100 women in Alaska will experience intimate partner violence or sexual violence in their lifetime.

ACT:

• Walk/run 50 miles through the month (that’s less than 2 miles/4,000 steps per day!).
• Dance 50 minutes through the month (that’s about one song per day!).
• Have 50 conversations with people, reaching out, speaking up, advocating (that’s 12 conversations per week!).
• Wear your purple!
• Make a t-shirt or start a healing clothesline project with your friends/family/community

ENCOURAGE OTHERS & ENTER TO WIN

Post your involvement on social media with that #50for50EndDV wearing your purple, make a t-shirt, your run/walking progress, doing your dance, tagging your friend you had a conversation with. You will be entered in a drawing for a gift card.

If you don’t do social media, you can upload your picture below, or describe what you are doing for Domestic Violence Prevention Month.

Get Your Community To Get Out The Vote and Get EVERYONE a TURKEY!

That’s right, if your village reports the highest percentage voter turn out then each household in your village will get a turkey*! We’re not pulling your feathers! To help drum up excitement in your community feel free to use the #(YourCommunityName)Voter. So like #StebbinsVoter or #TellerVoter. Then people can see you with your ‘I voted’ sticker or your selfie with your mail-in ballot.

Kawerak, Norton Sound Health Corporation, Norton Sound Economic Development Corporation and Bering Straits Native Corporation are teaming up for election season to encourage all our communities to Rock the Vote!

*Nome residents will participate utilizing social media hashtag #NomeVoter, to be entered into a drawing to win one of 25 turkeys! If they don’t have social media they can post their submission with their “I voted” sticker or with their mail-in ballot here!
