Join Safer for Stalking Action Month through our campaign "Burst the Bubble: Stand Against Stalking."
Things like excessive texting, tracking location via social media or apps, constant unwanted gifts, spreading rumors, and showing up when not invited are all common behaviors that can lead to more violence over time. Stalking is not romantic OR harmless. January is Stalking Action month, and Safer will be hosting events throughout the month to help you recognize stalking behaviors and know how to take action.
