The document discusses power-based personal violence and ways to promote non-violence through green dots. It defines power-based personal violence as actions like bullying, threats of harm, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, and controlling behavior. The document encourages participants to think about how violence has impacted people they love and how they can influence others positively. It provides examples of "green dots," or positive actions like speaking out against violence, designating sober friends at parties, and educating oneself and others on preventing violence. The overall message is that small, individual actions can help shift social norms away from violence and toward non-violence and consent.
