Bike Back the Night!




We'll be riding together to create a visual impact that will raise awareness and encourage individuals to join PWCL in supporting survivors of sexual violence at Portland State University's Take Back the Night rally and speak-out.
Bring your wheels, bring a friend, and Bike Back the Night!

Not many of you know that I am on the Board of Directors at PWCL (Portland Women's Crisis Line), but I've been on the board since June 2006, and wanted to let you know about a super fun event coming up next week....Bike Back the Night on Thurs., April 24th in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

PWCL was one of the first five sexual violence crisis lines in the United States, and provides 24/7 immediate access to:

Crisis Intervention
Advocacy and Support
Safety Planning
In-person response for survivors of sexual violence
Information and referral
Emergency housing resources
Danger to Safety transportation assistance
Agency and Community Support Groups


Although my term is up in June, I still plan on supporting PWCL financially as well as continuing to volunteer to shoot their events. Hope to see you on Thurs. to Bike Back the Night!
