Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

You all know much more than I ever could about what exercises are 
powerful. But I would like to make one suggestion about the topic matter 
for take back the night events that want to follow up on the women's 
marches. I thought the pink pussyhats were a brilliant response to the 
crudeness (and illegality) of Trump's "grab them" comments. So I would 
love to see more emphasis this year on response to groping and street 
harassment.
