PUBLIC AWARENESS
Posters
4,000 huge posters have papered downtown business windows of 90 Maine towns in two years. Smaller posters are also in every Goodwill dressing room, all Maine Family Planning Clinics, seasonal worker housing and medical vans, and most Maine high schools. Bathrooms of restaurants, employee break rooms, and changing rooms of boutiques, too.
Each poster features one of 45 named Maine survivors aged 18 to 82, letting women trapped in domestic abuse know 'You are not alone' and of the resources that are out there, while alerting and educating the public.
As you travel across Maine, how many of us can you see and hear?
