The Take Back the Night movement unifies community members by educating and
inspiring them to speak out against sexual violence. The event will include a march around campus, a community resource fair, speakers, poetry and music by CatCall.. Our keynote speaker this year is Emily May from Hollaback!, a movement dedicated to ending street harassment using mobile technology.
