Take Back the Night: A Community March for Survivors

Join MHACG’s REACH Center for Take Back the Night — a march and survivor speak out to raise awareness about sexual violence in all forms and support survivors in their healing journey.

The event will begin at 713 Union Street, Hudson, NY 12534 at 5:00 pm. Participants will march together down Union Street to the Columbia County Courthouse located at 401 Union Street, Hudson, NY 12534.

This event is open to participants (students, teachers, community members, etc.) of all sexual and gender identities, races, ethnicities, nationalities, religious beliefs, ages, abilities and statuses. We encourage participants to bring handmade signs or posters to carry during the march. Messages that support survivors, raise awareness, or call for safer communities, your sign helps make our shared commitment to ending violence visible throughout the community.

The event will include the march, a keynote address, a community partner speaker, opportunity for survivors to share their story, and a candlelight vigil.

About Take Back the Night

Take Back the Night is the oldest worldwide movement to end sexual assault, rape, abuse, harassment and trafficking. This event raises awareness, empowers individuals, and inspires action that will educate the public about sexual violence and its impact on victims and their loved ones.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) — an annual opportunity to listen to and honor survivors in our community and show those impacted by sexual violence that they are not alone.
