We don’t fix violence with slogans or outrage.
We fix it by creating space — space to think, space to breathe, space to choose something else.
WTG is a pause challenge.
A simple, repeatable action designed to interrupt momentum — before a worst choice becomes final.
Before reaction. Before impulse. Before headlines.
This moment is the gap — and this page exists to widen it.
If you’re feeling like you may hurt yourself or others, please contact local emergency services immediately.

You don’t need special gear. You don’t need followers.
You just need a moment.
Using washable ink or marker:
📌 Write WTG on your dominant hand
(with your non-dominant hand)
Hold your dominant hand open, palm facing the camera or viewer.
Hold that pose quietly for five seconds.
Silence is part of the message.
Choose one:
👉 “I’m widening the gap.”
👉 “Pause before you act.”
Then stop.
No pressure. No nomination lists.
Tag two people and say:
👉 “I’m passing you the pause.”
That’s it.
Every moment of irreversible harm has a split second before it —
a pause that could bend the outcome.
Pain doesn’t excuse violence.
But pauses save lives.
This challenge isn’t about judgment.
It’s about interruption — giving someone a chance to seek help, a chance to be seen, a chance to choose differently.

The Gap Between the Trigger
Calm ambient sound designed to support quiet reflection.
Noticing something “off” doesn’t make you intrusive.
Asking the awkward question doesn’t make you wrong.
Doing nothing is also a choice —
and it’s never neutral.
You can:
✅ Ask what they really mean
✅ Offer your presence
✅ Suggest professional support
✅ Encourage them to talk to someone
Better an awkward conversation
than flowers and regret.
If you or someone you know needs help, here are trusted resources:
No.
WTG is not a political statement, a policy position, or an argument about weapons.
It’s about human behavior in moments of emotional overload — the pause between impulse and action.
That pause applies to any situation where harm could occur.
WTG focuses on awareness, interruption, and choice, not blame or ideology.
Because physical interruption matters.
Writing something on your dominant hand:
Using your non-dominant hand adds intention — it’s a conscious act, not a reflex.
The goal isn’t symbolism.
The goal is delay — and delay saves lives.
Absolutely not.
WTG does not replace:
It exists before those steps — as a way to widen the gap long enough for someone to reach help instead of crossing a point of no return.
If someone is in immediate danger, professional support is essential.
Then this challenge matters even more.
WTG is also about bystander awareness — noticing when someone is slipping and choosing to act instead of looking away.
You don’t need perfect words.
You don’t need certainty.
Asking an uncomfortable question, making a call, or encouraging support is always better than silence.
Doing nothing is a choice — and it’s never neutral.
Created to honor the moments before outcomes.
If you paused here, you made a choice.
You matter more than the worst idea you ever had.
