White Ribbon Breakfast 2026

The NAACP Brockton Area Branch and Family and Community Resources, Inc. cordially invite you to our White Ribbon Event on Thursday, May 14, at the Shaw Center in Brockton, starting at 8:30 am.

The White Ribbon Campaign is the world's largest male-led movement working to end violence against women and girls. It began in November 1991 in Toronto, Canada, created by Jack Layton, Ron Sluser, and Michael Kaufman.

The campaign was formed in direct response to the 1989 École Polytechnique (Montreal) Massacre, during which shooter Marc Lépine murdered 14 women, explicitly targeting them because they were women in engineering. The event sparked nationwide reflection on misogyny and gender-based violence.

We have as guest speakers Brockton High School Principal Kevin McCaskill and Lt. Justin Simmons from the Abington Police Department. In addition, Brockton Fireman, Sebastian Charles and a group of 13 young ambassadors will lead all event participants in taking the White Ribbon Pledge.

We would be pleased if you could join us.
