This year’s event theme is ‘Our Voices, Our Strength, Our Community.’ According to KSAC, it serves as a reminder to uplift survivors' voices and to remind survivors of the strength and control they have in their lives.

The event is free and open to everyone, with light refreshments available for participants.

The event will run from 5 pm to 6:30 p.m. with a variety of community agencies tabling to share information about their resources and how folks can connect for support. Art supplies are also available for attendees to make posters for the march later in the evening.

From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. KSAC is hosting its evening of poems, speakers and performers, followed by our candle-lit solidarity march.
