Twitter’s Not Silent

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

rape_by_slytherin_prince.pngYou’ve seen our beta website for Silence Is The Enemy, perhaps added your support to the growing Facebook group… Now you can join the movement on Twitter!

No, I’m still not ‘tweeting‘, but am appreciative that the lovely and talented Arikia has created an account which will feature details on new initiatives, questions to followers, ways to contribute, and more.  And when you have important related news, tell us about it here.

As I wrote last week, June was only the beginning and momentum continues to build. Our goal remains to draw attention to sexual abuse globally and encourage everyone to talk about it and act. And we will rage against the silence.

Remember, there’s still one week to maximize blogospheric donations to Doctors Without Borders so keep clicking on these links since revenue is based on traffic:

    Thank you for doing this-it’s such an important issue. I wrote a short blog post on the subject on my blog a few weeks ago, and noticed the greatest thing when I checked my Google analytics this weekend.

    Someone had done a Google search for “Does rape in Africa affect me?” and wound up on my blog post about Silence Is the Enemy. I don’t know where this person was or exactly what they were looking for, but I felt honored to hopefully be a small part of the answer to that question (which, by the way, is a resounding YES).

    I’ve sent out a tweet encouraging all my followers to also follow @StopSilence that’s around 3k people so I hope it helps.

    I was just going through the latest twitters and found your remark. I surely can use the spinal excercises. I will add them to my Tao excercises, which are also great. Thanks for publishing the note.
