Monday, April 16, 2pm - 4pm What: T-shirt making workshop offers survivors, friends, family members, and their supporters the opportunity to express themselves artistically and have a voice surrounding issues of sexual assault. This project is very inclusive of the LGBT community, and is open to LGB individuals, straight allies, men, women and transgender individuals

The Clothesline Project is part of an international effort to educate people about the personal impact of sexual violence. It offers children, men, women, transgender individuals and their supporters, an opportunity to have a voice surrounding issues of sexual abuse and assault. They can express themselves through artwork displayed on t-shirts. It provides an opportunity to bear witness to their personal experience of violence, and celebrate their transformation from victim to survivor in a powerful statement of solidarity. For many survivors, breaking the silence is an important part of the healing process. The Clothesline Project offers that opportunity.

Where: LGBT Resource Center, 750 Ostrom Avenue, Wednesday, April 18, 7pm: Take Back the Night March, Rally, & Speak Out. Become part of the solution and bring an end to sexual violence. It's your chance to break the silence. Help us take back the night!

April 18th, Kickoff: Steps of Hendricks Chapel. Take Back the night is an international event that started in England in 1877 as a protest against the fear women encountered walking the streets at night. In 1978 the first Take Back the Night march in the United States was held in San Francisco to protest violence against women. Since then, Take Back the Night has spread across borders and oceans, cultures and languages, cities and towns, increasing community awareness and educating millions about the issues of violence against women, as well as urging each and every one of us to take a stand against all types of violence.

People will be gathering on April, 18th at Hillel at 7pm to remember people who were persecuted during the Holocaust including Jews, LGBT, and People of Color along with many others.
