The Clothesline Project


A .pdf of The Clothesline Project's brochure is enclosed with this post.

From The Clothesline Project Site:


The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.

For more information, drop a line to our National Contact Person:

Admire this effort for so many reasons:

Art.
Emotion.
Truth.
Community.
Testimony.
Witness.
Marketing.

I've added this project as a 'Resource' to the sidebar. A great example of the creative ways in which we end the silence.
