A staff report
April marks a significant period orchestrated by Families First, as they declare it Sexual Assault Awareness Month—a time dedicated to amplifying the conversation about sexual violence and embracing the survivors’ journey towards healing. With the arrival of April, Families First urges everyone to don TEAL, the designated color symbolizing sexual assault awareness, and actively engage in fostering a culture free from sexual violence.
The campaign kicks off with National Take Action Day Against Sexual Assault on April 2nd, inviting advocates and supporters to wear TEAL. This gesture is more than a fashion statement—it’s a powerful declaration of solidarity and a shared commitment to eradicating sexual violence. Families First emphasizes the need for a united front to champion the values of consent, respect, and empowerment.
Throughout the month, the organization is geared to propel advocacy, bolster support systems for survivors, and ignite a societal shift towards heightened safety and dignity for all. They call upon the community to stand together, not just on April 2nd but throughout the month, showcasing TEAL as a beacon of hope and action.
The message is clear: it is time to challenge the status quo, advocate for meaningful change, and support those who have endured sexual assault. As Family First leads the charge, they invite everyone to partake in this critical movement. Wearing TEAL in April becomes a collective stride toward a safer, more respectful future for everyone.
