It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of our annual March & Rally scheduled for Saturday, October 11th. After careful consideration, we have determined that gathering publicly in such a hostile environment could inadvertently increase risks to the very people we seek to uplift and protect, and in this moment, our primary responsibility is to protect our community, not to expose them to additional danger. Please understand that this action is not surrender – it is trauma-informed strategy.
We will gather again. We will march again. And we will be louder and stronger than ever.
We are still selling Domestic Violence Awareness merch! Purchase a t-shirt with the form below. Shirts will be mailed to your provided delivery address.
