************************************************************ 
***Champaign-Urbana's Take Back the Night Rally and March*** 

On April 30th in downtown Champaign, join us to publicly protest the 
conditions that cause women to feel unsafe when alone at night on the streets. 
The rally begins at 7pm, is open to everyone regardless of gender, and will 
include speakers from the U of I campus and the community. The march starts at 
8pm. As the march is an opportunity for women to come together to symbolically 
reclaim “the night,” it is open to women and transgender persons only. A men’s 
dialogue about ways in which men can work to end violence against women will 
be held simultaneously with the march. Child care will be provided by CAPP. 

Bring signs, bring friends -- let's light up the night together!
