Dear Neighbor,
Did you know that 1 in 6 women identify as survivors of sexual violence? Although conversations around consent have taken the national stage, rape remains a chronically underreported crime in New York City.
A Violence Free Future
Needs every one, every voice to speak out against sexual assault. Today, I’m wearing denim in solidarity with the global community of survivors.
Now, more than ever, we must stand together to call out instances of sexual violence, integrate comprehensive sex education in our school curriculum, and build momentum around policy that keeps our most vulnerable communities safe.
Thank you to my colleagues, survivors, advocates and all
Denim Day

what #AViolenceFreeFutureNeeds, in addition to your participation!
