ANTI-VIOLENCE RALLY

``Take Back the Night'' Rally and March will be held March 27 from 7:30-9:30 p.m., beginning on the Drillfield in front of Burruss Hall at Virginia Tech.

The purpose of the event is to bring community members together to protest violence against women and to promote awareness of attitudes, beliefs and behaviors which perpetuate this violence.

The rally will include speakers and musicians, followed by a march through the campus and downtown Blacksburg, ending at the Drillfield.

Women and men of all ages are encouraged to attend. Participants are asked to wear a purple ribbon tied with a knot for every friend or family member who has been sexually assaulted and to bring candles or flashlights.

In case of rain, the event will take place in Colonial Hall, Squires Student Center.
