Annual Clothesline Project Returns to Fisher

Each year, St. John Fisher University students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in The Clothesline Project, a national program that addresses the issue of gender-based violence.

The display of decorated t-shirts is a vehicle for individuals affected by sexual, domestic, dating, and other forms of gender-based violence to express their emotions. The Clothesline Project at Fisher is hosted by the Gender and Sexuality Studies program.

Fisher community members are invited to create a shirt to be displayed.

T-shirts and markers will be made available through Friday, Nov. 1, in the following locations: Pioch 119, Basil 111, Fay 102, Fay 204, RCW 119, Kearney 306C, and Lavery Library under the Steeple.

T-shirts will be displayed in LeChase Commons the week of Monday, Nov. 4, as testimony to the problem of violence.  “The t-shirts signify the importance of speaking out and demonstrate the power of a community committed to peaceful social action,” said Dr. Lisa J. Cunningham, visiting assistant professor and program director.
