April is Sexual Assault Action and Awareness Month. This year, The Harbor is organizing a Walk of Unshame protest, chalk the walk, restorative justice photo campaign for survivors to raise awareness and decrease stigma, and donation drive for specific needs of sexual violence survivors in our community.
Please join us on April 15th to take action for Sexual Assault Action Month!
