Christine Kramar, of Vegas for the Family, speaking at the rally Nov. 12, 2011
We saw.
We organized.
We rallied!
Saturday’s rally against hate speech and jokes about rape was a success thanks to the hard work and quick response of a lot of great people in the community. We had a nice turnout of about three dozen people, including parents, activists, advocates for survivors of sexual violence, and members of the Northwest Community Church. I represented the Nevada Coalition Against Sexual Violence as a member of their board.
Here’s a video of the three moms (including myself) who spoke:
The story has been picked up by different media outlets, too:
