[Reader-list] [Announcements] Blank Noise Blog-a-Thon

[Hemangini Gupta]

Dear all,On March 8 last year (Women\'s Day), the Blank Noise Project asked people to share stories of street sexual harassment. We called it a blog-a-thon since we announced the message on our site (www.blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com) and as bloggers picked the message up, they announced it on their websites, linked to other people and linked back to us. The blog-a-thon was picked up by bloggers both in India, and elsewhere. This year for Women\'s Day we\'re asking you to share experiences of times when you were an ACTION HERO and fought back against harassment. Blog about your experience, and let us know so we can link to you on our blog.When did you flip a situation so you could resist, when did you give back as hard as you got? How did you choose to confront the situation? When did you become an Action Hero?We hope that this response helps us understand the different strategies women (across age groups, cultures, and countries) haveinstinctively created to deal with street sexual harassment.(If you\'re a male blogger, ask your female friends and relatives about their experiences. If you don\'t have a blog, email us.)Here\'s how to participate:1. blog your story (as soon as possible, and definitely before March 8!)2. email the link to your blog post to blurtblanknoise at gmail.com witha subject titled \"Action Heroes Online\"3. we will link to you right away!And don\'t forget your non-blogging friends and family members -- we\'d love to hear stories from your mothers, aunties and grandmothers!Questions? Email blurtblanknoise at gmail.com.-The Blank Noise team
