Take Back the Night 2009

Our mission statement:

We are Take Back the Night, a coalition of students, who aim to shatter the silence surrounding sexual violence, domestic violence, rape,and hate crimes affecting all genders and sexual orientations. We aim to empower survivors by publicly speaking up against violence through creative mediums such as art, poetry, music, and open storytelling. Take Back the Night is a safe space place for the survivors of violence who want to share their stories.

We strive to support, empower, and inspire the Berkeley community by uniting all of our voices and demanding our community be free of all types of violence. Violence affects everyone regardless of ability, age, class, ethnic origin, gender, gender expression, gender identity, political ideology, race, sexual orientation, and spiritual or religious beliefs.
