I went to the PAVE rally on Feb 19th on my Green Bike!  I met up with Bikers Against Child Abuse at the courthouse in Beverly Hills to participate in the one of the nationwide rallys for Victims' Rights.

Reporting Online

Reporting Online was created for us to have a space to have a voice. It is totally anonymous. We see it on the backend and share it with no one. We will only share the numbers. Everyone can report online and are encouraged to so we can see numbers. You can also report online if your perp is dead, if your statute of limitations is up, if you want to remain anonymous, or if you're like me and don't even know the name of your rapist - report it online. But the key is to show up in person on April 29th. If you or someone you love was affected by sexual violence, show up! We are beginning this campaign on Feb 19th at the Victim's Rights Rally. Check out http://pavingtheway.net/
and please show up! We are repeating this rally but even bigger on April 29th!

You should contact your local Rape Crisis Center to go with you to the Report IT Day on April 29th for moral support and to help you report it to the police if you so choose. We are putting up all info on the Report IT website and also this blog. More to come!

Victim's Rights Rally - Feb 19th!

Victim's Rights Rally

Nationwide - February 19 - Noon

We need your help defending justice!

Join us for a national rally on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at noon. This is going to happen in dozens of cities across the country! We know that sexual assault is the most under-reported crime in the US. However, when victims do report, we find that they are constantly re-traumatized! We demand justice! To be involved, email: info@pavingtheway.net and we will send all of the tools needed to hold a rally in your community!
