Through seminars, workshops and other educational vehicles, A CALL TO MEN challenges men to reconsider their long held beliefs about women, in an effort to create a more just society. We achieve this by encouraging change in the behaviors of men through a re-education and training process that promotes healthy manhood.  By strategizing with colleges, corporations, government agencies, non-profit and grassroots organizations across the United States, we help to educate and organize communities in order to raise awareness and engage men in domestic and sexual violence prevention. Our vision is to shift social norms that define manhood in our culture, and produce a national movement of men dedicated to this cause.
