Past Featured Allies
Harold Dawson:
Most violence and oppression is actually related to ignorance and, unfortunately, most of us tend to look at things only through our own perspective. We need to take an active role in trying to change people’s perspectives. When we hear other men saying or doing things that are harmful to women we need respond, to say, “what you said wasn’t right,” or “what you did was unfair.” This makes sense to me as a businessman. When your objective is to achieve profitability in this global economy, it is really critical to have myriad of diverse perspectives and views in the process of creating a product or service. MSV begins with the simple step of just dialoging and educating to include different perspectives.
George McKerrow:
“Men Stopping Violence is a unique organization fearlessly tackling a subject that’s long been taboo. Violence against women should be a thing of the past. We all need to recognize that the decisions we make every day and the words we use have the power to shape part of the way women are viewed and treated by society at large. That doesn’t just apply to gender, of course. Everyone has the power to be an agent of change and has a responsibility to talk about serious, sensitive issues and set examples by the lives we lead. Advocating for ending violence is in the best interest of nonviolent men because it will improve our own lives and the lives of everyone around us, including the ones we love and want to see lead safe and healthy lives.”
