March with us this October & help us

Take Back the Night is our biannual survivor-centered event.
We hold this event every October in observance of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Who:

Take Back the Night is free and open to the public. This powerful evening serves reminds survivors that they are not alone and honors the memory of loved ones lost to domestic violence.

What:

Our traditional Take Back the Night events include a rally, march, confidential speak-out, and candlelight vigil.
Feel free to create and bring your own signs to march with! Some great examples can be found in our Facebook photo albums.

When:

Thursday, October 19 @ 6 p.m.

Why:

To raise awareness for the impact of domestic violence. To stand in solidarity with every person impacted, whether they decide to share their story or not. To show every survivor that we see them, we hear them, and we believe them.
