Everyone is invited to the corner of 40th and Chestnut streets on Thursday, April 23 to participate in the annual Take Back the Night march and rally to speak out in support of victims and survivors of domestic and sexual assault.

Marchers leaving from four different points near Center City (the others are: 22nd and Fairmount, 21st and Washington and 12th and Chestnut) will converge at the First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut St.) at 6:15 p.m. The march will leave 40th and Chestnut at 5:45 p.m. There will be a “Bust the Myths” street action outside the church. Inside, survivors and supporters will share stories and experiences with sexual and domestic violence.

Resources will be available to survivors and a 9:30 p.m. candlelight vigil will be held in memory of those lost to and still living in violent situations.

The Take Back the Night Facebook page is here.
