WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Clothesline Project is a visual display of t-shirts hung on a clothesline displayed across Arkansas to raise awareness of the deadly reality that is domestic violence. Each t-shirt is hand painted to each individual domestic violence murder victim in the state of Arkansas. There are approximately 45-50 murders yearly and each one has a t-shirt on the clothesline that needs to be made. Volunteers would be hand painting t-shirts to go on the clothesline for the 2022 murder victims. You don't need to be an artist just an advocate for victims that aren't here to tell their story.

Contact Ashley Walker, awalker@domesticpeace.com, if you can help.
