Please join us for an Open Community Viewing on Thursday, January 26, from 5-7pm at Northbridge High School, 427 Linwood Ave., Whitinsville, MA 01588

This collection of t-shirts:

*is created by teens from area high schools

*illustrates the effects violence has had on their lives

*helps deliver their messages to end the cycle of violence

The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women and children. It is a vehicle for those affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide.
