We bring to you the Not One More Girl campaign, a community-driven sexual harassment prevention campaign centering girls and gender expansive youth to reimagine safety for riders on BART. Betti Ono has curated a series of public activations throughout Oakland to engage impacted communities that are often overlooked. With youth speakers, spoken word poetry, musical performances and free healing kit giveaways, all members of the community are invited to create safe and just passageways for girls and gender expansive youth.
This campaign is led by BIPOC youth and community organizations, and our communities being abreast of this campaign, was a priority. We will be activating in the Fruitvale, Deep East Oakland, and West Oakland neighborhoods. This campaign isn’t just about safety on transit, it also centers safety in our homes and in our neighborhoods.
Phase II of the campaign is in development.

Come out to learn and engage with youth and community partners involved in this historic campaign socially distant! We’ll have music, conversations about how we’re addressing gender-based violence and sexual harassment on BART, and free healing kits with unique items for inner and outer safety. For our West Oakland Art Activation, we will have some art from our ‘Call for Art’ that was extended from our gender-expansive youth on display, plus large-scale versions of the campaign art.
3 safety booth activations will take place in April and on May 14th, 2021, campaign leaders will hold a virtual watch party and youth panel as we close out our events for the Not One More Girl initiative. At this event, we will debut a youth documentary featuring youth on what safety from gender-based violence and sexual harassment on public transportation looks like
