*PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO ANY STUDENTS, PERSONS, LISTSERVS, etc! THANK YOU!*
*PROFESSORS, PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR STUDENTS! *

Greetings!

             You are cordially invited to attend *"Women Speak,*" a
reception with Monica Daye which will serve as an open forum for women to
share their thoughts on issues of domestic violence on campus and in our
community. Please extend this invitation to others who you know to share in
that same passion.

Furthermore, we invite you to attend our *Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Community Speak-Out* event at the Alica J. Campbell Alumni Center. Details
of both events are in the attached flyers/invitations. Both events will take
place this upcoming Monday October 4th.

Thank you for your time. We look forward to having you with us on Monday.

Warmly,
Rachel Storm, WRC Program Coordinator

*P.S. Just as a reminder, Monday October 4th is a day that we hope to "paint
the town purple" for DV awareness! Please wear purple as a show of
solidarity! :)*

*EVENT: Domestic Violence Awareness Month Community Speak-Out*

*WHERE: *Alice Campbell Alumni Center Northeast Patio

*WHEN: *Monday,* *October 4th, 2010**

*TIME: *8pm

*DESCRIPTION: *The Domestic Violence Awareness Month
(DVAM) Community Speak-Out is a large-scale kick-off event to a series of
collaborative programming across multiple Student Affairs units aimed to
raise awareness around domestic violence both locally and globally. The
Community Speak-Out is intended to serve as a declaration of the campus
community’s resistance to violence and will offer attendees a chance
to speak out against domestic abuse, share their insights and personal
experiences, and heal.

The (DVAM) Community Speak-Out will feature an introductory speech by
Chancellor and Provost Robert Easter, who will declare this October our
campus annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month and speak about building
a community free of violence, followed by some motivational words from
public speaker, poet, and DV survivor Monica Daye, who will also facilitate
the open mic portion of the event.

Students and community attendees will be given candles and domestic violence
awareness ribbons and keychains to carry throughout the month of October and
will be encouraged to participate both in the open mic, as well as, in our
These Hands Don’t Hurt Project which encourages students to trace their
hands on the sidewalks in front of the Alumni Center patio. *This program is
part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month programming at the University of
Illinois.

**Parking available in the lot on the north side of Illinois Street. Free
parking after 5pm.*
