Take Back the Night

Take Back the Night (TBTN) is an annual event where survivors have a chance to share their story publicly in order to raise awareness about the impact of sexual violence. TBTN events have been happening nationally and internationally since the 1960s to raise awareness about sexual violence through protests, marches, and other speak outs. At JMU, Take Back the Night traditionally begins with a survivor Speak Out, in which survivors who would like to share their story publicly can do so, and the event ends with a Flower Release on Newman Lake. This event is open to everyone, whether you are a survivor yourself, know someone who has experienced sexual assault, or care about this issue and want to show your support.
