Due to the pandemic, this will be the second Denim Day to feature a virtual rally, organised by LA-based Peace Over Violence and Denim Day New York City.

Supporters are encouraged to wear denim as a sign of solidarity, and the themes this year are ‘Believe survivors’ and ‘We protect each other’.

Patti Giggans, Denim Day founder and CEO of Peace Over Violence, said: “Whether we are working on the front lines, sheltered at home, marching in the streets, or gathering on the steps of City Hall, we want survivors to know that we believe them and that we will always protect each other.

“By partnering with businesses, educational institutions, students, community members and elected officials, Peace Over Violence’s Denim Day has become both a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault and a powerful tool for disrupting rape culture.”

The event has been sponsored by Levi’s and Union Bank, and supporters can visit www.denimdayinfo.org for more information.
