The range of ways in which a White Ribbon Ambassador can be involved, either individually or in conjunction with others, is solely limited by our imagination.
Interested in making a difference right away?
Taking a cue from down under, here are some ideas from the White
Ribbon Foundation of Australia for other ways that Ambassadors can
make a difference:
Promote public interest by talking with colleagues and friends
about the campaign i.e. about what the campaign is involved in,
how important it is to change community behaviors and attitudes,
etc.
Talk about your role as an Ambassador in as many situations as
possible and in particular when attending public engagements
Host meetings, social events, awareness raising activities to
mark White Ribbon Day
Approach local councils, men’s organizations, sports and services
clubs, etc. and offering to be a guest speaker, and encourage them
to buy and distribute White Ribbons
Facilitate presentations in the work place, in recreational settings,
etc. that address the issue
Participate in media opportunities wherever possible, e.g. direct
interviews, writing articles, utilizing personal media contacts
to extend the White Ribbon campaign message

Sample message to send to a friend
Dear [Friend or Colleague]
I have joined an important campaign and would be delighted if you
would join me as well in promising to help find a solution to eliminate
violence against women.
On March 7, 2013, Jane Doe Inc. will host the sixth annual statewide
White Ribbon Day Campaign to call upon men of good heart to stand
up and be counted as allies against violence against women. As you
know, sexual assault and domestic violence occur at alarming rates,
and we are all affected. We need more men to speak out and pledge
to be part of the solution for ending violence against women.
Here’s all you have to do:
1) Take the pledge
2) Wear the White Ribbon on March 7th
You can find out more about the Massachusetts and International White
Ribbon Campaign and other plans for Massachusetts on campaign website:

Thank you for helping.
My best,
[Your name]
