“Sparkle Against Stalking” is The Harbor’s National Stalking Awareness Month event, inviting our community to learn, reflect, and have some fun while tackling a serious issue. Following guidelines from the Stalking Prevention and Resource Center SPARC, this karaoke style event explores how stalking language shows up in music and media and why it is harmful.
Stalking is not sweet, but the night will include sweet desserts, fun sparkle drinks, and plenty of glitter. We will also wear sparkles in honor of Peggy Klinke, whose legacy reminds us why awareness and prevention matter. Peggy’s light went out too soon because of her stalker. Peggy lit up a room wherever she went with her sparkly outlook on life and her vibrant personality! To read more about Peggy, please go to SPARC — www.stalkingawareness.org
Join us on January 15th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Xanadu in Astoria for an engaging evening of music, education, and solidarity. We love our friends at Xanadu Astoria
Thank you for helping us make this a meaningful event!
Stalking is far more common than many people realize and has serious emotional, psychological, and physical impacts. National research shows that one in three women and one in six men experience stalking in their lifetime.
