00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Every day in our world, our community, and even on our campus.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
There are acts of power based personal violence.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.000
Things such as stalking, dating violence, sexual assault, and rape, all place a red dot on our map.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Even making the choice to ignore an act of personal violence. The choice to do nothing.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
To walk away, that moment of an action, is a red dot.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
We don't have to live in a map covered in red dots.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
We can make a choice to intervene. A choice to put a green dot on our map.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Each of us can create a green dot by intervening directly during a red dot situation, delegating and finding someone to intervene, or creating a distraction that pulls the power away from an act of voilence.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.000
Be direct.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Delegate the situation. Cause a distraction.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:51.000
A green dot prevents a red dot from marking our map. We have a choice to stand up and say that violence is not acceptable to us or our community.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Talk with friends and family about the importance of non violence. Announce a commitment to prevent violence on social networking websites.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:62.000
Or even wearing a green dot t-shirt can make our map green.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:09.000
You have a right, a choice, and the power to stand up against violence.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Together we can make green dots out number the red.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Together we can make our map green.
