The Purple Reign Campaign ~ Everyday Heroes Against Abuse
Seattle Costumed Activist Uses Superhero Persona to Raise Awareness and Fundraise for Victims of Domestic Violence
Seattle costumed crime-fighter Purple Reign turns domestic violence activist with the launch of the nonprofit, The Purple Reign Campaign. This campaign rallies people worldwide to take a stand against domestic abuse. With partner Phoenix Jones, Purple Reign aims to give strength and resources to victims of domestic violence who have not yet found the freedom to express themselves.
As a survivor of domestic violence, Purple Reign has a unique perspective: “I use my 'superhero persona' to raise awareness about this cause. It is my dream to inspire victims and to give them the resources and strength to transform into survivors as a hero once did for me.”
The Purple Reign Campaign is the first and largest of its kind among costumed activists to raise awareness and funds for victims of domestic violence. Through donations, merchandise sales, personal survival stories, comic book art, education and events such as the Healing Reign Music Benefit & Auction (May 12, 2012 at Nectar Lounge), regular community members will become “heroes” as they save the lives of victims, transforming them into survivors.
