Jimmie Briggs, a New York based author, activist, journalist, and lecturer, started the Man Up movement in 2008 that seeks to educate and train youth to be agents of change within their own communities to end vioence against women and girls. "Man up" as a statement has a number of negative connotations. Briggs' movement seeks to redefine the statement, suggesting, instead, that it means to take a stand, speak out, etc. Read more about the movement here.
