On July 20 & 21, 2017 in partnership with NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, 25 undergraduate students from 18 colleges in 6 states came together with renowned media experts to design iconic disruptive actions that will challenge gender-based violence in college life. With Breakthrough’s help, they will be changemakers on their campuses and in their communities.

YOU are the expert on your campus culture, your student body, and what your college or university needs in order to be a safer space for all. WE can help you make it happen. You’ll leave Breakthrough’s Action Lab with an iconic disruptive action to challenge gender-based violence. After the Action Lab, Breakthrough will work with you in order to share tools, resources, connections, and know-how to make that action happen on your campus and beyond.

Whether you are a seasoned social justice advocate or just looking for a way to get started, Breakthrough’s Action Lab can help you build your toolbox for human rights. You do not need to have experience in social justice activism or gender equity, just a desire to take action and make change!
