Your Voice Counts!

Throughout the month of April New Hope will be collecting pennies in honor of

sexual assault survivors. Each penny collected represents one survivor of sexual assault.

 

Donate a penny to represent yourself or someone you know at any New Hope event in April, or drop off/mail a penny to

New Hope's main office:

New Hope

140 Park Street

Attleboro, MA

(One penny per survivor please)

Feel free to also send a personal story to go along with the penny-no names please.

 

Pennies collected will be displayed at New Hope's sexual assault awareness "Consent" movie night on April 28, 2011 from 6:00pm-8:00pm at the

Fiske Public Library in Wrentham, MA

clothesline project

The Clothesline Project: Bearing Witness to Violence Against Women 

A Visual Display Offered by New Hope, Inc.

 

A Gallery in the Window Exhibition hosted by the Attleboro Arts Museum. On view in the Park Street windows of the Museum from  April 6 - April 14, 2011.

The Clothesline Project uses custom-made shirts to symbolically reflect a woman's personal experience as a survivor or victim of violence. Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular individual's experience, either by the survivor themselves or by someone who cares about them.

The Clothesline Project:
- Bears witness to survivors and the victims of domestic and sexual violence in our community
- Acts as a healing process for both people who are themselves survivors as well as for those who have lost a loved one to this destructive behavior
- Educates, documents, and raises society's awareness of the extent of the problem of domestic and sexual violence in our community
