Do you want to participate in a internet music video?
I am creating a song called "give the secret a voice" theme of the song is about abuse against woman- domestic violence, drugs, alchol... I am looking for content to accompany the song- This is part of a social awareness campaign to STOP abuse, and your contribution could help make a difference in a woman's life.
Send me either a pic, or SHORT video shot (from your digital camera) depicting the affect of abuse, in the shot hold up a sign indicating if you are a victim or abuser.
I would appreciate it if you pass this along to anyone you think would be WILLING to participate.

Deadline for the content is Sunday November11th
send your info to: thesongcatcher@gmail.com

Thanks for your contributions, and giving the secret a voice,
