ONLINE: SAAM Community Conversation
press release: The Rape Crisis Center honors 20 years of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) by “Centering Blackness as an Act of Self-care and Collective Liberation.”
One in three women and one in five men have been victims of sexual violence in their lifetimes. These numbers are staggering and affect everyone across industry, generation, culture, race, etc. We know everyone has had the unfortunate experience of surviving, or helping a survivor of sexual violence. SAAM is an opportunity to promote awareness and prevention through programming and outreach.
RCC’s SAAM programming will feature a virtual luncheon on April 9, with food from Chef Patience Clark and keynote speaker Alicia Walters. Tickets for the webinar are available until the event, but if you would like a ticket including lunch, the deadline is March 26.
In addition to the virtual luncheon, SAAM events taking place throughout the month of April will feature live-streamed conversations with community leaders like Urban Triage’s Brandi Grayson; movie nights with RCC staff; fitness classes with local gym owners and trainers; and mindfulness and creative activities on social media. Every aspect of RCC’s anti-sexual violence outreach in April will have a lens that centers Blackness, including buying from local Black-owned organizations to provide an economic boost during the coronavirus pandemic.
