Flower with Words NOTMe

Inspired by a stirring speech at a national leadership conference, and the stories of our chapter leaders and members, #NotMe has become an annual tradition for Armed Women of America.

We invite women across the country regardless of whether you are an AWA member, to head to a shooting range on the first Saturday of June (or anytime in June) for #NotMe Day to stand in solidarity with women self-protectors and show the world they refuse to be a victim, and for some, to say #NeverAgain to ever again being a victim. We even have a downloadable target for your use! (and it makes a great target for dry practice, too!)

To acknowledge and participate, fire three rounds symbolizing:

  • I am empowered;
  • I am prepared,
  • I will not be a victim.

Please share and post your range visit and using the hashtags and tagging us.

If you are unable to get to the range, you can make your voice heard by sharing your testimony or personal statements of #NotMe and #NeverAgain on social media and tag @ArmedWomenofAmerica wearing your #NotMe shirt, or any purple shirt and holding a #NotMe target!

Chapters across the country hold open house and other special events at their host ranges to recognize #NotMe Day. To find a chapter near you, visit: https://armedwomen.org/find-a-local-chapter/

#NOTME SUPPLIES

#NotMe shirts are also available on our Bonfire store in various styles and colors. They are good for year-round use. 💜

The flower used in the #NotMe shirt design is called Astrantia and it symbolizes:

  • Courage, strength, protection
  • Stands for one’s inner strength, self-reflection, one’s ability to overcome obstacles, as well as passion
  • Also signifies womanhood, grace, elegance, youth & innocence

Note: The fitted shirts run small
