March Locations & Information: This is event is unique to our community as it brings together campuses and our local community in one powerful voice. To accomplish this there are 3 marches: one from Cornell, one from Ithaca College and one from downtown Ithaca-- which all convene together on the Commons for the Rally. Participants are encouraged to join any march that feels more relevant. Marchers are encouraged to make signs, bring banners or wear clothes that highlight groups and organizations standing in solidarity with survivors or with messages of protest against domestic and sexual violence. Marches leave from: Textor Ball, Ithaca College At 6:15 pm Ho Plaza, Cornell University At 6:30 pm GIAC, 310 W. Court Street: At 6:45 pm |
Rally Information: The rally portion of the event begins after all threw marchers arrive and meant to be a safe space for survivors, an opportunity for the community to show their support through words, music and other art, as well as a place to speak out against these forms of violence. The heart of the rally is survivor and ally speak-out sessions, in which attendees are able to have a brief time to share their experience and impacts of domestic and sexual violence in whatever way feels most healing. The rally will be on the Ithaca Commons from 7-9pm. |
