The 13th annual “Take Back the Night” march against sexual assault will be held at 7 p.m. tonight.

The Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service is sponsoring the walk, which will begin at the Campus Pond and proceed all around campus, said Bonnie Buckley, SACIS executive director.

SACIS is marching to send the message that violence needs to end so all women, men and children can feel safe, a press release stated.

The candle-lit march will be led by the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in support of sexual assault victims.

After the procession, Buckley said participants will gather around a campfire and hear music from local entertainers, followed by a poetry reading session.

“Anyone can read poetry,” Buckley said. “We want everyone to feel welcome.”
