Happy Earth Day 2017! Let's celebrate with the release of our campaign.
https://www.bonfire.com/we-wont-be-silent/ As you know we created this design because our goal for this year is to celebrate the women led charities that Ellen Pompeo supports. We put together this charity because of how often Ellen speaks up on behalf of charities and campaigns to change the world for the better. We Won't Be Silent comes directly from an instagram post of hers where she is talking about the names of unarmed black men who have been murdered, https://www.instagram.com/p/BHkEQKQAtfR/. The idea is that this phrase, the idea of not being silent can be transferred to all sorts of campaigns for change. Ellen says that we can not be silent, and she will not be silent so to combine that it became We Won't Be Silent. Our real focus for this campaign is the idea of standing up for women's rights, standing up for Earth, and using your voice for good. We chose Jane Goodall Institute because Ellen's own support, but also the institute does work across the globe helping to provide clean water, health care, and education to women. When women have access to these things they are able to succeed, and that success can be directly lead back to women in science and conservation. For too long science has been considered male dominated and that's about to change. Through education and support of programs like the institute, and the representation of women in STEM jobs on television (such as Ellen Pompeo playing Meredith Grey, a female head of general surgery) we are working together to make science a field where women are not only welcome but encouraged. We encourage you to buy our shirts and let Ellen know how much you appreciate her standing up for the women of stem, and supporting Jane Goodall Institute's global change. So fill the silence with science, stand up for what you believe in across the globe, and most of all we won't be silent.
