Shatter Their Silence.

Tonight at Michigan Tech in  ME-EM 112 (which is R.L. Smith Hall)., there will be the first annual "Take Back the Night" event.  

Shatter the Silence
Breaking The Silence Through Storytelling 

“It takes two people to speak the truth: One to speak and another to hear.” – Henry David Thoreau

Take Back The Night’s supporters have always understood the power of speaking out. Rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse and domestic violence are often labeled “crimes of silence” because of low reporting rates and social discomfort with their public discussion.

There will be a walk after the discussion.  

I, along with Tom Rosemurgy (Houghton County Detective), and Dial Help staff and a few others, I don't know yet, will be on the panel.  

Just coming to hear is the first step in being part of the dialogue.  Silence is the only way sexual abuse will continue.  

I donated this quilt....and it will be framed and hung in the lobby of Dial Help.  I hope it inspires others to shatter their silence.
