Today through April 11th , everyone is expected to lend their voice to stand against these acts by placing a red X on their hand and sharing it on social media, blogs, websites, web magazines, and more. Two billboards in Times Square Manhattan, NY are currently lit in support of this movement and will remain so until April 11th.  To participate in this movement on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram take a photo of your hand marked with a red X and post it with the hashtag: #enditmovement. You may also create a youtube vlog  with the same hashtag and encourage your followers to be part of the movement.
