16 Sep NYC Location & Participants Announced: RISE with Survivors & Allies. Union Square South. Fri, Sept 25th!
π₯ SURVIVORS & ALLIES ARE COMING TOGETHER IN NEW YORK CITY. JOIN US.
On Friday, September 25, we will gather in Union Square for 60 Million Survivors Rising: NYC – an artistic and fierce expression of survivor power and solidarity.
At a moment of profound impunity, violence, and abuses of power, we are coming together to disrupt the injustice and demand justice, accountability, healing, and an end to the systems and cultures that enable sexual violence and protect those who perpetrate it. This NYC action kicks off a weekend of Survivors Risings across the country.
There are more than 60 million survivors in the United States. This action is for every survivor, across every community – and for everyone who loves them.
