JLArlington.org LITTLE BLACK DRESS INITIATIVE Winter Season • The Junior League of Arlington will host the Little Black Dress Initiative Nov. 14 — 18 to raise awareness about its new community impact on abuse prevention. (Update date) • The LBDI was launched by the Junior League of London in February of 2014. JLA will join 20 other Junior Leagues around the country who have participated in the campaign. The organization will be the first Junior League in North Texas to participate. LBDI is a week- long, social media-driven fundraising campaign that focuses on the iconic little black dress. Participants wear the same black dress for five consecutive days. They are encouraged to harness the power of social media to drive financial support and educate the community about the financial issues women face when they leave abusive situations. These problems can impact basic necessities like suitable work attire. • According to SafeHaven, Tarrant County’s domestic violence shelter, one in three women will face domestic violence in her lifetime. This number is one that JLA hopes to reduce so that no women have to find out what it means to live in a home where they’re facing domestic violence. Last year alone, almost 195,000 cases of family violence were reported in Texas. It is only together that we can help these women and families. Commit today to participate in our Little Black Dress Initiative!
