For International Anti-Street Harassment Week, Today, Saturday, April 13th at Washington Square Park:
RECLAIM THE STREETS! Street harassment ends here.
12 p.m.: Rally with a mix of speakers and performers in Washington Square Park on the stage, located east of the fountain.
2 p.m.: Leave the rally to chalk the streets of New York with positive messages against street harassment. Chalk is provided!

Tomorrow marks two months since the One Billion Rising Dance Flash Mob I organized at the park February 14th also to highlight ending violence against women and girls. Statistics vary but U.N. statistic is that 1 in 3 women will experience violence in her lifetime. (That’s one billion women.)
Did you see the Homestuck convention?!
Hi Georgia,
