CASS Sidewalk Chalking for International Anti-Street Harassment Week!
“Don’t tell us what to wear, tell men not to rape!”
“I deserve to feel safe walking down the street!”
“‘Hey Baby’ is NOT a compliment!”
Agree with these messages? Then join us to TAKE BACK THE STREETS with us
this Sunday at 2pm in Dupont!
CASS is proud to host the kickoff event (!) for the Second Annual Meet Us On The Street: International Anti-Street Harassment Week (April 7-13)! We’ll meet at the fountain in Dupont Circle at 2:00pm to check-in, distribute supplies, and put you in teams. With chalk in hand, the sky’s the limit. Get creative, get chalky, and get the message out that we deserve to feel safe on our streets!
>> RSVP on Facebook!
And if you want to get pumped up beforehand, sign up for this kickass, free self defense workshop (also part of International Anti-Street Harassment Week!) on responding to sexual harassment in public spaces, hosted by Lauren Taylor of Defend Yourself.

Collective Action for Safe Spaces (CASS) has gone through a number of changes in the past six months, including doubling our all-volunteer staff, increasing our street harassment awareness activities, and contributing to WMATA’s new anti-harassment campaign. Because of this, we’d like to re-introduce ourselves to the grassroots activist community in DC (that’s where YOU come in!) through a meet-and-greet event. You will not only have the chance to learn more about what CASS and Rainbow Response do and hope to do in the future with community partners, but also to mingle with other related area organizations and enjoy complimentary food and beverages.
