Greetings!
 

We're excited to announce that tomorrow, Tuesday September 14th the U.S. Senate will be holding a hearing entitled "Rape in the United States: The Chronic Failure to Report and Investigate Rape Cases".  This hearing will address the needs of sexual assault victims and the struggles they have reporting their cases not just in Baltimore but across the nation.  If you've been following this story, you won't want to miss this hearing.  It is at 2:15pm and to get more information or hear a webcast, visit this site.  We'll definitely be listening. 

 

Thanks to everyone who attended our Women's Retreat Day and Volunteer Training on August 28th, with over 30 participants, it was a huge success and something we hope to make a regular occurrence. 

 

Finally, we're still in need of submissions for the 2nd edition of our Purple Poetry Book.  Get more information here. We're excited to read your work!
