Resource Fair @ CGCC

Join our REACH Center at Columbia-Greene Community College for a Resource Fair for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The Clothesline Project is a visual representation of the interpersonal violence within our community. For those affected by violence, decorating a t-shirt is a means of expressing emotion, telling a story, and giving a voice to the voiceless. The shirts that will be hung throughout the student center throughout the week and on the day of this resource fair are all made by a survivor of violence in Columbia or Greene. 

Shirt colors represent different forms of abuse experienced:

• White - Honoring someone who died because of violence
• Yellow - Survivors of physical assault or domestic violence
• Red/Pink/Orange - Survivors of rape or sexual assault
• Blue/Green - Survivors of incest or childhood abuse
• Purple/Lavender - Survivors of violence or abuse due to sexual orientation or gender identity
• Brown/Grey - Survivors of emotional, spiritual, or verbal bullying or abuse
• Black - Survivors of racial, ethnic, political, or disability related assault or abuse
