"Activate and organize your neighbors into making your block a 'Domestic Violence-Free Zone.' "

The Neighbor to Neighbor action kit provides resource materials and tools for hosting a neighborhood block meeting focused on raising awareness about domestic violence. Emphasizing the need to "make neighborhoods safe both on the street and inside the home," the kit contains a step-by-step guide for bringing neighbors together, suggestions for activities that small neighborhood groups can undertake, sample letters to the media, and a host of other resource materials that can be used in homes or local businesses. Window signs advertising "Safe Haven" inform abused women they can use the telephone at that site to call for help. A video that dramatizes how friends and family can support someone who is experiencing abuse is included in the kit, along with a study guide that can be used to stimulate group discussion of the film. A bibliography of other videos and books about domestic violence is also part of the kit. The Neighbor to Neighbor resource materials were designed for national distribution and can be used in virtually any neighborhood across the country.

Recommended for family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors interested in fostering domestic violence awareness and action through neighborhood groups and local businesses.
