3/3 will be the 9th Annual Massachusetts White Ribbon Day

What do Governor Charlie Baker, Andre Tippett of the New England Patriots, Middlesex Sherriff Peter Koutoujian, MassHousing Community Affairs Director Thaddeus Miles, Newburyport High School student, slam poet Charlie Lake, DraMatik Hip-Hop performer Andres Gonzalez, and U.S. Coast Guard Captain Brett Millican all have in common?

These are the newest White Ribbon Day Ambassadors in Massachusetts and each will be speaking (and in two cases performing!) at the State House on Thursday, March 3 at 1 PM at the 9th Annual Massachusetts White Ribbon Day Proclamation Event.  Details here:  https://whiteribbonday.splashthat.com/

This solution requires a wholesale change in how we think about masculinity, aggression, power, and status.
