TAKE BACK THE NIGHT is a tradition in
our community. Each year, the rally features survivor speakers, poets,
musicians, local activists and storytellers. The rally is followed by
an empowering march through the streets of Ann Arbor attended by
hundreds of roaring students and community members. As those of us who
have attended know, the entire event is a powerful collective
experience!
We need
lots of creative and resourceful minds to carry out this important
gathering! There are opportunities to work on the publicity, logistics,
fundraising and community outreach efforts for TAKE BACK THE NIGHT.
Whatever your interests, there is a place for you on the organizing
committee! Develop your skills while contributing to an important
milestone for the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor community!
Work on projects such as choosing artists and speakers, design t-shirts,
organize a bowl-athon, write press announcements, and oh so much
more! We need YOU!
The first meeting of the year will be
held on Tuesday, January 13th
at 7:00 in room
B684 in the UM School of Social Work
and continuing every
Tuesday until the event. If you can�t make Tuesday meetings or have
little spare time, but would like to be involved, we will find a way to
incorporate you in to the planning process! There is always the
possibility of holding subcommittee meetings on other days or choosing
individual projects to work on during your free time. Or, if you are an
artist and are interested in submitting a TBTN logo, performing at the
event or if you are a survivor ready to share your story� Contact us!
