About MSV

Men Stopping Violence works locally, nationally, and internationally to dismantle belief systems, social structures, and institutional practices that oppress women and children and dehumanize men themselves. We look to the violence against women's movement to keep the reality of the problem and the vision of the solution before us. We believe that all forms of oppression are interconnected. Social justice work in the areas of race, class, gender, age, and sexual orientation are all critical to ending violence against women.

Q – Why do you think that the Ally breakfast is important?

I want the women in my life to be able to count on me and to feel safe. It is good to get together with other like-minded men to ponder with sincerity how we treat women. As we age we become set in our ways. At the Ally Breakfast, I get to discuss empowering women, rather than creating leverage or power structures around my interactions with them. In a non-judgmental environment, I am able to talk about being thoughtful, paying attention, being kind, and softening the hard edges in my life. These moments provide the thoughts and direction for my mental gardening.- Robert Brawner
