Young women participating in Groundswells Voices Herd Visionaries program created a unique public art campaign in partnership with Day ONE to raise awareness of teen dating violence among their peers. As part of the campaign, the girls designed posters in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, screen printed t-shirts and tote bags, and hosted a blog, which outlined their research process and provided educational resources for their peers. The posters illustrated the different kinds of abuse experienced in negative teen relationships, including physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, technological, and financial abuse. These posters were distributed to Day ONEs community partners and public schools throughout New York City. They are available online as well.
