Take Back The Night will feature survivor speakers sharing their personal and inspirational stories, as well as live entertainment performances for guests to enjoy. Pizza and refreshments will be provided to all guests while supplies last. Best of all, Take Back The Night is a FREE community event for all ages, with allies welcomed!

Back by popular demand, we will also be offering a variety of Take Back The Night swag available for purchase at the event, including t-shirts, tote bags, and stickers. These items are a great way to show your support for our mission of empowering those who have been impacted by sexual violence in our community. Most importantly, donations to our organization help us continue to offer our services for free in the community!

This year, we are also pleased to welcome special guests Dollz by Dezign and Morrigans Cross WMC who will be supporting us in our walk. Please be advised that motorcycles will be present at Take Back The Night. We understand that this can be triggering for some; we will be setting up an outdoor quiet space for any guests who may wish to use it.

The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire.

Every year on 21 September, the United Nations invites the world to mark the International Day of Peace. This year’s focus is on “Cultivating a culture of peace”.

In a world mired by conflict, inequalities and discrimination, we must strive ever harder to promote dialogue, empathy and human rights for all.

As we begin the 100-day countdown to Peace Day, let us plant the seeds for non-violence, justice and hope.
