The purpose of the candlelight march is to bring together members of the campus and community to protest violence towards women and to promote awareness of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors which perpetuate this violence. Organizers encourage everyone to take an active role in changing our society-a society in which women have reason to fear being out at night alone. Women, men, and children are encouraged to march, either as individuals or as part of a group.
Percussion instruments are welcome.
The march route is accessible for disabled persons. The march will be preceded by a rally with speakers and musicians from both the campus and local community. Please consider marching. Organizations which are participating will be announced during the rally.
