How to contribute to the National Day of Action ‘Love Letter’

Share your story and be part of the NDA Collective Love Letter

We think you have inspiring ideas and we want to share how you are part of a movement for change in Canada. Help us send a collective ‘love letter’ to all girls and young women across the country.

If you are doing an action, tell us why you want to take action and what impact you hope to make in your community. If you’re not doing an action, we still want to hear from you! Let us know what message you want to send to girls and young women in Canada!

Some ideas on how you can tell your story:

  • Photo: capture an action, a person, place or object (include a short description (caption))
  • Cartoon: make your own or re-use one of your favourites (include a caption) 
  • Audio: interview someone who is taking part in the action, a member of the public or record your own rant/testimonial. Don’t want to talk? Record a song instead. (1-3 minutes)
  • Video: interview someone who is taking part in the action (could be yourself), add some photos and graphics to make it more interesting (1-3 minutes)
  • Poem/spoken word: put ink to paper and express yourself; go a step further and record the audio or video of you or someone else reading the poem/spoken word (around 10 lines of text).
  • Quotations: share your favourite inspirational quote or make up your own!

Use the following as your introduction (intro) or tag line in the message:

“I’m part of the Girls Action National Day of Action because”

Close (extro) your submission with the following:

“Be the change! For the Girls Action National Day of Action 2012, (your name, title or organization)”

Use social media to send us your message(s):

You can also use the following tools to upload your message. Make sure to share on Facebook (tag @filles d’action) and/or Twitter (#NDA2012 or @_GirlsAction).

If you don’t use any of these tools, send us your message anyways: elvira@girlsactionfoundation.ca

We’ll make sure it gets published on social media (for images, make sure to include a caption; for audio/video, make sure to include an intro/extro).

Send us your message by Thursday, February 9th to be included in the love letter on 14.02.12
