Support Survivors in Our Community and End Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Assault.
Take Back the Night is a march, rally, and vigil that unites the community to support survivors and envision an end to sexual assault, domestic violence, rape, and child sexual abuse. This community event is open to anyone in the public. It creates a safe space for victims, survivors, and allies to speak out. The event includes opportunities for people to view the Clothesline project, participate in survivor and ally speak outs, hear music performance, and listen to guest speakers. Take Back the Night began to reclaim the night for women from the fear of walking alone at night. It is an annual event that occurs every April in Ithaca, NY.

2018 Take Back the Night

The 2018 Take Back the Night Collective is currently meeting Monday evenings from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm, at the Advocacy Center. New members always welcome! The Collective is a collaboration of dedicated community members and various local organizations who plan each year's Take Back the Night! In the past the Collective has consisted of: Cornell Women's Resource Center, LACS, Tompkins County Mental Health, Cornell's SASSY, Tompkins Community Action, IC Feminists United and Wells College. Together, we will choose the theme, design the 2018 TBTN tee shirts, recruit performers and speakers, and plan the March routes!

The 2018 theme for the Ithaca Take Back the Night is: Justice for #metoo.
The Collective chose this theme because we wanted to highlight the #metoo conversation that has been taking place on both the global scale and in the microcosm of our own community. We \wanted to explore the concept of justice and how it can look different for each person and community.
