About this Event

"I Am NOT a Prostitute...It's Just A Walk!" -Althea Jones

According to recent surveying 96.7% of people have been the recipient of unwanted catcalling, sexual advances, or/and solicitation. These interaction make community members and neighbors feel unsafe and afraid.

Join us on October 5 for a 1.4 mile walk of protection, togetherness and accountability. This powerful, community-centered event will uplift the voices of those who have experienced street harassment, cat-calling, and unsolicited sexualization.

This event creates space to share stories, reclaim public spaces, and amplify the call for protection. Through movement, arts activies and writing workships, we will honor both the trauma and triumph of those impacted by solicitation and objectification in everyday life.

Why You Should Participate:

  • Walk in solidarity with others who believe in safer streets and empowered voices.
  • Engage in interactive sessions of art-making, writing and expression
  • Stand up to protect your 8 year old self. Be a part of the healing, by listening, speaking and showing up for YOU!

How You Can Participate:

  • Walk-Register to be an in person or virtual walker and get your signature t-shirt and arts activity kit.
  • Volunteer- Volunteers will be needed prior to and on the day of the event.
  • Donate- Donate to help cover the registration of community members who can not afford to participate at full price.
  • Share- Fight the censorship! Be a part of the bull-horn squad and help get the work out across the nation and world about this project.
