Take Back the Night

On April 18, 2008, UIS and LLCC students will present their first-ever Take Back the Night march and rally. Take Back the Night is a movement inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations that brings survivors, supporters and activists together in a call for the end of violence against women.

The first annual UIS/LLCC Take Back the Night will begin with a rally on the LLCC campus at 7:00 p.m. where survivors of abuse will share their stories. Participants will then march from LLCC to UIS, where there will be a party with entertainment and refreshments. There are free t-shirts for the first 50 participants with a UIS or LLCC Student ID.

Please join the efforts to help end violence against women and take back the night! The event is presented by UIS Women's Issues Caucus and LLCC Feminist Action Coalition student clubs. It is also sponsored by the UIS Women's Center, UIS Student Government Association, the Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault and the LLCC Multicultural Center.
