The goal of this event is to create a safe space for survivors and allies alike to have a safe and trauma-informed way to learn the necessary skills to rock climb outside on a top rope. Top roping is the safest way to begin climbing, and is a necessary first step for any new climber. This workshop will teach participants how to top rope safely outdoors, while also empowering them to trust their own bodies, their voices and other participants.

  Denim Day

  In recognition of an Italian Supreme Court case held in 1998, where the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction claiming that because the victim was wearing very tight jeans, she must have helped remove them, and by removing the jeans it was not rape but consensual sex. Outraged, women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans in solidarity.  This news made it to California and Denim Day has been held annually ever since! Denim is worn by folks on this day to show support for survivors of sexual violence.

  Rally - March - Speak Out

  Since the 1960s, Take Back the Night has empowered and supported survivors/victims, helping those in pain, and asserted that it is unacceptable for people to live in fear for their safety. Take Back the Night rallies, marches, candlelight vigils, and speak-outs are the means by which we show our solidarity. We invite you to join the movement to end and raise awareness of, sexual and interpersonal violence and demonstrate support for survivors and victims on our campus and in our community.

  Help raise awareness of and speak out against sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual abuse, and all other forms of sexual violence.
