A look back at all those moments in rom coms that perpetuate r**e culture and/or are generally terrible

06/06/2016

These two incredible women just graduated yesterday. As the seniors on our board, they were role models for the rest of us. Phoebe, the Outreach Director, has spent the last year working with schools and other organizations, making sure that our workshops can reach as many people as possible--and she's also helped with countless other tasks essential to running SWAG. Gabriella, the Founder and President, is the reason that all of us got started. Her courage and energy are what turned something terrible into something terrible we can fix. These two leaders are some of the most inspirational people you'll meet, and under their leadership SWAG went from an idea to a (very) active organization with dozens of members.

Next year, Phoebe will be teaching at an outstanding school in Brooklyn, and Gabriella will be abroad in Greece on a Fulbright Scholarship. The rest of us are going to miss you two immensely, but we're going to keep doing the work you've started. We love you.

cw: domestic violence

People have been using on Twitter to talk about emotional and verbal abuse within relationships. Sometimes people forget that abuse can take many shapes and forms. Check out these tweets and this article! http://mic.com/articles/143012/maybe-he-doesnt-hit-you-spotlights-relationship-violence-that-isn-t-physical #.6K23lHuUa

Relationship abuse is more than just physical violence.
