Men's Anti-Violence Council

The Men's Anti-Violence Council (MAC) is an opportunity for men to get involved in preventing violence. We've all witnessed someone saying or doing something inappropriate. We've all heard jokes that made us uncomfortable. We've all seen someone talk, touch, grab, or yell at someone in a way that we wouldn't want them to treat someone we care about.

 

But what do you do? What do you say? How can you get involved? MAC provides resources about how bystanders can get involved and be helpful.

 

As men, we have a lot of influence among our friends, classmates, colleagues and even strangers. Men look to other men about what's appropriate male behavior. We can send a message about what's appropriate by getting involved. As men, we have strength and we have a voice. It is our choice how we use them. What are your actions saying about your views on violence?
