Until She Can

Sojourner Family Peace Center

Challenge

During the isolation of the COVID pandemic, domestic violence in Milwaukee spiked 21% and domestic violence- related homicides skyrocketed 79%.

Solution

To send a message of hope to domestic violence victims, we rallied local and national influencers to speak for the survivors who don’t think they have a voice. We called the movement #UntilSheCan and we flooded social media, outdoor, digital ads and tv with stories of real survivors. We also asked our social followers to paint #UntilSheCan in purple across their faces and use as their profile pictures during the month of October.

Results

Response to the deeply moving campaign was overwhelming, with influencer videos generating over 1 million video views and social engagement of over 1.5 million interactions in just 5 months. At the same time over 120 stories covered the effort resulting in over 100 million media impressions. More importantly, it inspired more victims to seek help, as Sojourner saw a 21% increase in visits to their emergency shelter, as well as a double digit increase in donations.
