The Austin Project brings a group of women scholars, artists and activists of color and our allies together for a 11 week process. We meet for 4 hours on Sundays. The process walks participants through a process of uncovering and articulating the personal: identity-culture-memory-family herstories-aspirations/for the purpose of discovering and strengthening their writing voice and style. At the end of the process the group shares their work in a public presentation.

Men Rally for Change

This Saturday!
April 10th - 9:30 am
The Mexican American Cultural Center
600 River St | Austin, TX 78701

Men Rally For Change is a collaboration of men, women and youth speaking out
against sexual and domestic violence, while speaking up for safe communities
and healthy relationships. Under the umbrella of SafePlace's Expect Respect
program, Men Rally For Change engages school and community partners in an
annual rally featuring lively speakers and outstanding performers and works
throughout the year to strengthen men's involvement in ending violence
against women.

Men Rally For Change is a product of the community, and the Expect Respect
program at SafePlace. The Expect Respect program engages youth and adults
in building healthy relationships and preventing dating abuse and sexual
violence. The Expect Respect team provides support groups in local schools,
youth leadership training, and educational programs, and partners with
school and community organizations to prevent dating abuse before it
starts.

Men Rally For Change.

Feel it.
Breathe it.
Be it.
It's time to craft a new anthem. Men Rally For Change.
