SUMMARY:Red Sand Project - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Let Victims Fall Through the Cracks\nTake a Stand Against Human Trafficking \nEvery day\, victims of human trafficking go unseen—slipping through the cracks of society’s safety nets. Join VIP (Victims’ Intervention Program) as we take action\, raise awareness\, and give voice to the vulnerable. \nWhat Is the Red Sand Project? \nThe Red Sand Project is a powerful\, participatory art installation that uses red sand poured into sidewalk cracks to symbolize the lives that are overlooked and forgotten—those trafficked and exploited around the world. This national movement is about visibility\, awareness\, and solidarity. \nBy filling the cracks with red sand\, we make a visual statement: we see you\, we stand with you\, and we will not ignore the issue of human trafficking. \nEvent Details \n🗓 Date: Wednesday\, July 30\, 2025 \n📍 Locations & Times: \n\n\n10:00 AM – Wayne County Courthouse \n\n\n1:00 PM – Pike County Courthouse \n\n\n\nJoin Us \nWe invite community members\, advocates\, local leaders\, and survivors to come together\, take part in this symbolic act\, and amplify the message that no one should fall through the cracks. \n\nWhy It Matters \nHuman trafficking is a hidden crime that thrives on silence and invisibility. Many victims—children\, immigrants\, people experiencing homelessness\, and others—often go unnoticed. This project helps bring their stories to light and reinforces our community’s commitment to prevention\, education\, and support for survivors. \n\nHow You Can Help \n\n\nShow up. Be part of the visual demonstration. \n\n\nSpeak up. Share photos and stories from the event with the hashtag #RedSandProject. \n\n\nStand up. Support VIP’s ongoing work to end trafficking and empower survivors.

SUMMARY:Take Back the Night - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Wear your denim and join us for guest speakers\, survivor testimonies\, and awareness displays. \nLet’s take back the night at Black & Brass in Honesdale on Wednesday\, April 30 at 4:30pm. \nMusic and refreshments will be provided. \n*** \nSwing into Black & Brass all of April and order their survivor-inspired brew\, Healing Grounds. A portion of the proceeds will benefit VIP! \n*** \n\nAbout Take Back the Night \nIn the 1970s and 1980s\, feminists became more vocal about issues of responsibility and blame in incidents of sexual violence. Traditional views suggested women could prevent sexual violence by acting or dressing certain ways. Feminists argued that a victim of an attack should not be held responsible or blamed because of her sexual history or manner of dress. \nBy the late 1970s\, local feminist groups regularly organized events to protest violence against women under the name Take Back the Night. The public protests aimed to reclaim spaces in which women felt unsafe. The local nature of the organizations meant that the marches were typically organized in response to an assault within the community. By the 1980s\, Take Back the Night events were common on college campuses across the United States. The events often included candlelight vigils and speeches by survivors\, followed by a march.
