Participate in the 37th Annual Take Back the Night and Help Raise Awareness by Nancy McCabe

The Official Take Back the Night Icon

Come join the AAUW Sacramento branch on Saturday, Oct. 8 for our third year of co-sponsoring the Take Back the Night rally and march through midtown. Take Back the Night aims to end sexual- and gender-based violence through awareness building and supporting agencies that provide services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

We are a part of the resource fair, which begins at 5:30 p.m. There is also programming in the same location until 7:30, when we break down the tables and prepare for the march through midtown at 8 p.m. AAUW marchers carry our banner and march along with the other participants in a show of support for women’s issues. It is a good way to become better known as many Second Saturday attendees visit our table to see who we are. We also network with other co-sponsor agencies.

If you can join us, please let Nancy McCabe, mccaben@comcast.net, know to expect you.
