April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM)

Tuesday, April 4th: Wear teal for the National Day of Action

Wear teal and post a selfie or a group photo to social media, tagging @doorways_va on Instagram or @doorwaysva on Twitter and Facebook. Check out our Teal Out toolkit for sample text to tell your friends why you’re wearing teal, and call on them to join you in creating change!

No teal in your closet? No problem!

Turn your social media profile pictures teal for SAAPM and/or and use our teal virtual background to raise awareness.

Wednesday, April 5th: Take the pledge to Start By Believing

Download and print the Start By Believing placard, add your name, take a picture and share it. Check out our Start By Believing toolkit for sample text to tell your friends about the pledge and its purpose, and call on them to join you in believing survivors.

Stay tuned for more events all month long, including a poetry share and a family movie event. In the meantime, check out more ways to get involved!

From trans youth, to you: a beacon of hope and joy in these trying times.
