#1Thing Action Guide: Action Through a Unified Message

Date: 
Wednesday, 12 September 2018

Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and power of individuals, families, institutions, and systems – each whose “one thing” adds a valuable and powerful component to transforming our communities.

The Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) is excited to bring a unified message to #DVAM2018 that moves people from awareness to action and inspires thinking about how individuals can take small steps that lead to real social change.

Change can start with only #1Thing. One person’s actions may seem insignificant, but together a communities' collective “#1Things” can lead to real social transformation.

The #1Thing theme offers the opportunity for individuals and organizations to gather around a national unified message for DVAM and beyond. Throughout the month of October, the DVAP and its collaborative partners will be sharing personal and organizational #1Thing messages that advance action for social change. We invite you to participate by sharing what #1Thing inspires you.
