Denim Day 2020 is on April 29th. While we won’t be having any events out in the community due to the necessity of continuing social distancing, you can participate with us virtually by wearing some denim on that Wednesday and posting to social media with #DenimDay!
We will also be going live at noon on Facebook for a special Denim Day edition of “Live at Lunch!”
Denim Day was created to raise awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness Month after a woman in Italy was sexually assaulted by her driving instructor. The Italian Supreme Court ruled that it could not have been a rape, because they claimed jeans she was wearing were too tight for the instructor to take off without her help. Denim Day is a statement against victim-blaming and an opportunity to talk about consent and show support for survivors of sexual assault.
