    Awesome! Thanks for sharing :-bd
    I'll keep a look out for the documentary too - Canada has really been a guiding light in the area of domestic and family violence, sexual violence and trauma-informed practice.

    Here’s an update for you from the ‘A Better Man’ team:

    Thanks to more than 530 donors, we've surpassed 70% of our goal!  Since our last update, Margaret Atwood, Pearl Jam and Sloan have all stepped up to support A Better Man.  Other endorsers include Amanda Dale of the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic and Todd Minerson of the White Ribbon Campaign, both tireless leaders in the movement to end violence against women.

    Our first week of fundraising was capped off by an outstanding feature that ran on CBC's The National on Sunday.  CBC Arts Online also spoke to Attiya about the need to take action in the movement to end violence against women.  

    You're now a part of this effort, but we would love more to join us.  Please continue to share our campaign with your friends and family.  Thanks so much for all of your support!
