FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…

Choose Respect Banner

Alaska’s Governor, Sean Parnell, is reaching out across the state to encourage individuals and communities to “Choose Respect” and to work together to put a stop to domestic violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse.  March 28th is set-aside for Alaskans to individually and collectively Choose Respect.

ChooseRespectMapA rally and march will be held on the 28th, starting at Susan B. English School and ending at the Post Office, beginning at 3:10 p.m., right after school.  Community members are invited to participate.  We hope to see government leaders, business owners, parents, teachers, students, toddlers and more at this event.  More than 140 communities around Alaska will be participating this year.  Let’s join them in helping show our kids that choosing respect is of the utmost importance.

People are encouraged to make signs, to bring pictures of those who have suffered from these abuses, and to come with a positive outlook toward helping our state grow stronger together.

In a letter to “Choose Respect” participants, Governor Parnell wrote, “As you know, positive change must occur at the community and individual level.  Every day across Alaska, we see the traditional value of respect being restored.  We are witnessing increased survivor support and new opportunities to protect our children. Each step brings us closer to ending domestic violence, sexual assault, and child sexual abuse.”

To continue sharing this positive message in our community, there will be an art exhibition in May, featuring local works of art, compositions, photos and more. Community members are encouraged to create something that communicates how choosing respect is important to each individual.  Frames will be made available for any who would like to frame their work.  Additionally, a photography workshop will take place in the spring so that those who are interested in presenting a photographic interpretation of choosing respect can get some additional inspiration.
