This year’s theme of ‘Rage and Resistance.’ According to KSAC, it reflects the feelings of anger with how prevalent sexual violence still is.

The event is free and open to anyone. Light refreshments are available for participants.

The event will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with a variety of community agencies tabling to share information about their resources and how individuals can connect for support, says KSAC. Art supplies are available for anyone to drop by and create posters for the march later in the evening.

From 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., there will be poetry, speakers, and performers, followed by the candlelit solidarity march.
