The Whisper Project™ Street Team
Sticker the Silence — Quiet Lifelines for Anyone Who Needs Them
We place discreet QR touchpoints that lead to free, trauma-informed resources. We do this legally, safely, and respectfully. Small whispers. Big impact.
Quick-Start (3 Steps)
- Sign up. Use the button above. You’ll get a welcome reply and next steps.
- Print materials. Use simple QR cards or a mini poster that point to goddessspeaksfire.com/whisperproject/
- Place with permission. Use removable tape only. Snap a no-faces photo. Report placements with the button below.
Safety First (Always)
- [ ] Go with a buddy or text someone your route and ETA.
- [ ] Choose public, well-lit places. Trust your body. If it says “leave,” leave.
- [ ] Stay low-profile. Place quietly. If questioned, be kind and brief.
- [ ] Never argue. Never engage with hostility. Walk away.
Legal & Ethical Rules
We are permission-first and removal-friendly.
- [ ] Ask permission for businesses, campuses, and private spaces.
- [ ] Use removable methods only: painter’s tape, removable dots, suction hooks, card stands.
- [ ] Respect “No Posting” signs and community rules.
- [ ] Do not place on cars, homes, mailboxes, windows, or transit interiors unless explicitly allowed.
- [ ] If asked to remove, do it immediately and thank them.
Friendly script: “Hi! We share free emotional-safety resources. May I place one removable card on your board or counter?”
Where to Place
- Community boards (libraries, community centers, grocery stores) — ask staff.
- Laundromats, coffee shops, salons, bookstores — with permission.
- Campus resource boards, women’s centers, student unions.
- Yoga, pilates, fitness studios (ask first).
- Therapy offices and wellness clinics that welcome resources.
Where Not to Place
- Any “no posting” area or where you do not have permission.
- Personal property (cars, homes, mailboxes) or restricted buildings.
- Hospitals, shelters, schools, and government buildings without written approval.
How to Place (Step-by-Step)
- Ask permission if needed. If denied, thank them and choose a new spot.
- Clean the surface with a dry cloth. Use removable adhesive only.
- Center the QR code. Keep it at eye level. Keep the message minimal.
- Take a quick photo for your report (no people, no faces, no staff names).
- Leave quietly. Smile. Be kind. That’s it.
