A message from our colleagues in the Women's Center. Original post here.

Thursday, April 25, 2024 · 5 - 8 p.m.
On Campus: Meet on Commons Main Street

In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Women's Center is proud to revive our once annual, much beloved Take Back the Night. On Thursday, April 25th, we invite you to join us on Commons Main Street--let's take back the night!!

Events and activities include:
- The Survivor Speak Out (begins ~5:15 on Main Street)
- Campus March Against Sexual Violence
- The Clothesline Project
- Community Resource Fair and Craftivism (including the opportunity to make Clothesline Project t-shirts, Dear Survivor letters, and self-care takeaways) and We Believe You discussion group hosted in the Women's Center post-march.

There is limited seating for the survivor speak-out. We recommend you arrive early. As seating fills up, we encourage you to make your way up to the balcony area on the 2nd floor of The Commons. We also encourage you to check out the community resources as you're waiting for the speak-out to begin.

Stay tuned by liking the Women's Center on Facebook and following us on Instagram and Twitter. #UMBCtbtn is the official hashtag, so follow us there, too! You can see picturesfrom past years Take Back the Night on our blog.
For more information about UMBC's Take Back the Night, you can visit our What You Need to Know about TBTN blog series. Posts include more information about the survivor speak-out, the march, Greek Week involvement, and the post-march craftivism. More posts will be shared and/or updated leading up to 2024's event.

UMBC students who identify as survivors are invited to speak at the speak-out forum. You can contact the Women's Center for more details, but you do not have to sign up in advanced to speak at the forum.
If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact the Women's Center at womenscenter@umbc.edu for more details.

**Please note that we are requesting any one taking photos beyond personal use (i.e. media, class assignment) should reach out to the Women's Center to request a press pass prior to TBTN. Please email womenscenter@umbc.edu for details. Please read our blog about ethical photography at events like TBTN**

For accommodation needs or support, please contact the Women's Center at womencenter@umbc.edu or 410-455-2714 or stopping by to meet with us.
