Among its programs, RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE. This nationwide partnership of more than 1,100 local rape treatment hotlines provides victims of sexual assault with free, confidential services around the clock. The hotline helped 137,039 sexual assault victims in 2005 and has helped more than one million since it began in 1994.
Interested in joining the fight against sexual assault? There are many ways you can get involved:
• Social Networking - post banners, bulletins, bumper stickers and/or content on your personal page (ex: MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Ryze)
• Blogging Brigade - post on your personal blog and/or some of your favorite outside blogs; post on your personal and/or some of your favorite websites (ex. LiveJournal, BlogHer, Typepad, Twitter)
• Email Outreach - send out news updates on statistics, events, public policy decisions (ex. listserves, community organizations)
• Social Bookmarking - select topics that match your interests, share and recommend to others (ex. StumbleUpon, Digg, del.icio.us)
• Photo/Video Sharing - upload and share photos and/or videos from RAINN events (ex. Flickr, Bubbleshare, Blip.tv, YouTube, Revver)
• http://www.rainn.org/get-involved
• Host a small event for your friends or family.
• Create a large fundraising event.
• Ask friends and colleagues for contributions (no event necessary).
• Raise money from local businesses.
• Organize a local run or walk.
• Come up with your own idea — be as creative as you like.
So, if you're truly passionate about helping those who've been affected by sexual assaults, I hope you found this helpful.
