LLCC is hosting a Day of Action in correlation with National Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. today in A. Lincoln Commons.

The day’s events include a “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” inspired runway show, an educational area featuring TED talks on topics surrounding sexual violence and a cupcake sale to raise funds for the Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault (PCASA).

Males are invited to walk the runway (heels provided) to show their support and compete for the award of Runway Star.

Representatives from PCASA will be present to discuss the services they provide and give information about their upcoming 11th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. Resources, informational handouts and awareness coloring pages will be available in the educational area.

At 1:30 p.m., there will be a showing of “The Hunting Ground” in the A. Lincoln Commons followed by a facilitated discussion on the theoretical and practical aspects of the film.

Hosted by the LLCC Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE) Taskforce, the Day of Action kicks off SAAM with events aimed at informing people about steps that can be taken toward preventing sexual assault by promoting safety, respect and equality.
