Confidence Coalition Goes Viral!
We are excited to announce the official launch of the Confidence Coalition which includes a viral campaign complete with a video and Web site. You should have received an e-mail with the video a couple of weeks ago. If you missed it, you can view it at www.confidencecoalition.org. It’s a thought-provoking video meant to mobilize women and girls to stand up against media stereotypes, peer pressure, domestic and dating violence, bullying and other issues that can keep them from living the lives they imagine. We invite you to be a part of this powerful movement!
Please share the video with your friends – KD and non-KD – and help us spread the message across the country. You can use the “forward to a friend” option or post something about the video and add the link on your Facebook page or Twitter account. Please encourage your friends to become fans of the Confidence Coalition on Facebook and to join the Confidence Coalition cause.
When you visit the Confidence Coalition Web site, take the time to sign the pledge. We have set a goal of having 25,000 girls and women sign the Confidence pledge in the next month. There are also some tips and confidence-building activities that you can print and share.
We are proud to have some amazing organizations join us in the Confidence Coalition, including Girl Scouts of the USA, Girl Talk, Girls on the Run, America’s Junior Miss, National Charity League, Pink, Love Is Respect, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and others. We encourage you to find out more about the confidence programs offered by these groups. Information on all of the “Confidence Builders” is listed on the Web site. Many of the organizations are promoting the Confidence Coalition to their members and supporters. Check out the Love Is Respect Web site and the National Charity League e-newsletter.
New organizations and companies are signing on every day, so check back often to see which ones have joined the coalition. And if you are a member of a group or work for a company that would be interested in joining the Confidence Coalition, please share the video with the appropriate person and send us information of who we should contact. You can email us at confidencecoalition@kappadelta.org.
