CBS Sports Caster James Brown

Legendary sports anchor James Brown is leading a new national campaign – A Man Can – to empower men to live a healthy manhood and end domestic violence. 

Domestic violence remains the number one health concern for women in our country today and 85% of domestic violence is perpetrated by men against women.  JB is calling on the millions of good men to hold this destructive minority accountable. Through A Man Can, pastors, teachers, coaches, doctors, politicians, businessmen and some of the most influential role models out there – professional athletes – are joining with JB to say that violence and disrespect against women – or anyone else – are not OK.

JB advocates that if men simply embrace a healthy manhood, there will be no domestic violence.  And for men who witness disrespectful or abusive behavior, they have to step up and speak out.  In interviews on January 30 ^th from Indianapolis, JB and Mike Mason, chief security officer for Verizon Communications, will discuss A Man Can and how every man can join.
