There is physical strength in numbers, but people often overlook the emotional strength that comes with something intangible, like solidarity and support. Combine all of those things and you get Take Back The Night — a rally, march and speak-out in support of sexual assault survivors. “My favorite thing about putting on Take Back the Night is how powerfully the march through the streets of Eugene symbolizes reclaiming marginalized people’s safety on public streets at night - and the community and solidarity that is represented in that very act of resistance together,” ASUO Women’s Center Director Fatima Pervaiz tells EW via email. The 39th annual event is organized by the ASUO Women’s Center in coalition with Sexual Assault Support Services of Lane County (SASS) and the UO campus community, and has continuously pulled in big crowds. According to Pervaiz, last year’s Take Back The Night rally had an estimated 400 people in attendance. The event begins with a rally that takes place at the EMU amphitheater on campus, followed by a march downtown to the Atrium Building, at 943 Olive Street, where survivors can choose to tell their stories during the speak-out. “The toughest part about putting on Take Back the Night is ensuring that the event maintain a trauma-informed, survivor-centered and intersectional feminist lens while continuing to engage large audiences across a spectrum of awareness on sexual violence prevention and activism,” Pervaiz says. But, no matter the difficulty, each year, the effort put into the event always comes through. Take Back The Night begins 6 pm, Thursday, April 27, at the EMU amphitheater on the UO campus, rain or shine. — Meerah Powell P HOTO BY A M A NDA SHIGEOK A 14 A pril 27, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com “Macbeth,” classical theatre film production, 6pm today & 11am Sunday, City Lights Cinemas, 1930 Hwy 101, Florence. $10-$19.
