Take Back the Night 2009

During this visit to Michigan – the first since moving to Belgium last summer – I’ve been able to meet up with survivors and our allies across the greater Lansing community. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and people are taking a stand! This post is one of several upcoming to share about these events.

On 21 April, TBTN activities took place in East Lansing, MI, USA. I joined the day’s final activities: the pre-march rally with artist Hana Malhas (photos no.1 & 3) and keynote speaker Ann Francis (photos no.2, 5, & 7); the campus-wide march; and the post-march rally with artist Kate Leong (photos no.11 & 13). Hopefully, the photos convey the amazing-ness of the event .
