Tomorrow is Denim Day in USA...Show Your Support for Victims of Sexual Assault


Tomorrow is the 11th annual Denim Day in LA & USA, as sponsored by Peace Over Violence. In an effort to raise awareness for sexual violence prevention and to demonstrate support for victims of sexual violence, the group has made their annual call for Americans to wear their denim in a show of unity to take place on Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

Since 1999, Denim Day in USA has sought to advocate for the many victims of sexual crimes. The campaign was inspired by the story of a young woman who's assailant was ultimately set free by a judge who decided that because the woman had worn tight jeans on the day of the incident, she must have helped the perpetrator to remove them.

Wear your jeans tomorrow, spread the word, and learn more at the link below...
