Have You Heard "That's so 6%"? Your Help Is Needed to Create Change
"That's so 6%" T-shirt design
“That’s so 6%” is not just a saying, it is a movement to change the rape culture we live in. But to do so, your help is needed. RESPECT is looking for students, staff, and faculty who are willing to wear “That’s so 6%” T-shirts on campus every Wednesday during the fall and spring semesters.
RESPECT will give you the T-shirt, but ask that you please give their organization 10-15 minutes of your time for a briefing about this exciting new movement directed toward changing rape culture and preventing sexual violence. If you would like to participate, please come to one of the briefings being held on Tuesday, Sept. 9. Briefings will be held every 15 minutes starting at noon and going until 2:30 p.m. (12, 12:15, 12:30, etc… with the last session starting at 2:15 p.m.) at the Pat Walker Health Center, Room 242.
Shirt sizes will be available on a first come, first preference. A limited number of shirts are available, but we are working on ways to obtain more. Follow the program on Facebook and Twitter for ongoing announcements about future events for sexual assault prevention. To learn more about “That’s so 6%” and for direct access to our social media links, please visit respect.uark.edu/thats-so-6/.
