What it Was

Know Your Rights Workshop

Thursday December 11th at the DC Center: This hour-long presentation covers criminal, civil, and Title IX/university rights of victim of crimes such as sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence, physical assault, and more.

Be Safe This Halloween with Right Rides

People who don't regularly experience sexual harassment in public have the freedom to choose where to go and how to get there based on convenience and cost. But for women and LGBTQ folks — populations that are at a higher risk of sexual harassment and assault — these considerations are often in conflict with a need to stay safe. This "safety gap" can end up unfairly costing women and LGBTQ individuals when it comes to time, opportunities and cold hard cash — not to mention that their best efforts to stay safe can still sometimes fail.
