Green Dot Week of Action
Fourth week is Carleton's first-ever campus-wide Green Dot Week of Action. Green Dot is a nationally recognized bystander intervention program that focuses on building the skills needed for individuals to take action when they see instances of power-based personal violence (stalking, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault). 'Green Dots' are small choices that each of us make with our words or actions which help prevent harm from occurring in our community. The Green Dot motto is, 'No one has to do everything, but everyone has to do something.'
There are many ways to get involved this week; pledge to participate in one or more of the following events!
