The Purple Ribbon Champagne

I have been making purple and black ribbons to pass out to my family and friends.  I have also passed them out at the Rallies and Speak Outs which I have organized for Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month which is in October.

I tied purple and black ribbon together (you could also use yarn), into tiny bows.  I attached a safety pin to each one so it can easily and safely be pinned onto clothing.  It is amazing how many people ask "What is the purple ribbon for?"  Then you can spread the word!  This is a simple way to Do Something! 

*The purple ribbon represents the survivors of abuse.  The black is to remember those who did not survive.

I had a vision that if everyone who read this email would tie purple and black ribbons onto their trees what an awesome statement that would make!
