Thank you to all who attended the 31th Anniversary Take Back The Night Rally and March in Ann Arbor

We are looking for volunteers to help us plan the 2010 rally!

Please contact us at info@tbtnannarbor.org if you are interested in helping out!

• Increase community awareness of issues of violence against women, and its interrelationship with all other forms of discrimination;
  
• Educate about the extent and the nature of the violence that is systematically used against women to keep us from becoming powerful, autonomous individuals;
  
• Honor the memory of the victims of violence against women and celebrating its survivors;
  
• Serve as a collective voice for women to demand a world in which women's bodies, minds and souls are not targets of violence;
  
• Empower individual men and women to take direct action against violence, whether it is through speaking out, lobbying, voting or some other form of activism;
  
• Provide the leadership to challenge organizations and institutions to implement policies and initiatives which are effective in addressing issues of violence against women.

While different organizations and agencies may sponsor this event, the message is always the same: "We march to demand that the perpetrators of this violence--the batterers, the rapists, the murderers--be held responsible for their actions and be made to change."
