Refuse
To Abuse
ADA Information Campaign 2003
 Beginning in 2003
the Alternatives to Domestic Aggression Program Launched an informational
campaign entitled “Refuse to Abuse.” The kick off was initiated with Key
chains and bumper stickers. We initially learned about this "slogan" in
a training sponsored by the Michigan Coalition
Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. This training focused on Prevention
efforts in the field.
One of the presenters was Nan Stoops from the Washington
Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Ms. Stoops discussed the
WSCADV history with creating the Refuse To Abuse Campaign. We immediately
were so moved by this work that we set out to initiate our own campaign
here in Washtenaw County.
The Refuse To Abuse Campaign is Trade Marked
by the WSCADV.
Our plans for later in the year include the use of billboards and banners
as well.
