Jeans 4 Justice Project
CSNA is excited to bring Jeans 4 Justice back this year! Jeans 4 Justice began in 1999 when a judge overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing jeans. He said it was common knowledge that jeans can’t be forcibly removed. This led to global protests where people wore jeans to bring attention to the problems surrounding sexual assault in the justice system. And many years later J4J is still a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of sexual assault and its impact.
This year we are happy to be in person at Straight to Ale at Campus No. 805. There will be a display from April 20th through April 26th, and some of the pieces will also be auctioned off during the official event on April 26th. Please join us for a night of arts, education, and fun for all!
