Whether you have a few minutes or lots of time to help everyone can do something to spread awareness. Use the social media status updates below to update your accounts, make a “It Happened to Me” video or submit your story, contact your legislators and request they strengthen the laws or volunteer at a women’s shelter.
If you don’t have time or resources for any of the above mentioned activities, you can still help by doing something as simple as never using the term “stalking” to describe anything less than the crime it is.
Help spread awareness surrounding the crime of stalking by tweeting or updating your Twitter/Facebook status with these messages or feel free to create your own.
