April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Shasta CARES held events on campus to help students and faculty discover the impacts of sexual assault and what you can do to intervene as a bystander. On April 25th, students, staff and faculty wore jeans on Denim Day, a sexual violence prevention campaign to show that there is no excuse and never an invitation to rape. During this event students and staff took photos and wrote on jeans about consent and why we need Denim Day. Denim Day culminated with the Take Back the Night event at Shasta College. Take Back the Night is a candlelight vigil and march in solidarity against sexual violence. Together, everyone recognized and raised awareness about violence, while honoring survivors. During the evening, participants interacted with campus and community partners addressing the various aspects of violence, learning about how to break the silence and erode the current cultural and social norms that contribute to sexual violence. The evening concluded with a speak out where survivors shared their stories in a way that they found empowering be it storytelling, spoken word, or another platform. Thank you to our campus and community partners that participated in this event: One SAFE Place, NorCal OUTreach, Planned Parenthood, Damsel in Defense, Women’s Health Specialists, Shasta College Student Senate, Administration of Justice Club, Diesel Club, Title IX Office, Campus Safety and Shasta CARES. Thank you to: our Jazz 1, 2 and 3 class for performing during Denim Day, Shasta College Student Equity and Inclusion for coordinating the spoken word performances, the spoken word performers for your bravery and strength and to our singers who provided beautiful songs during Take Back the Night.

Dear Campus Community, We want to personally thank CalWORKs for the opportunity to present at this year’s statewide conference. As always, the safety of our students, faculty and staff is our highest priority. We firmly believe that the trainings and tools that were presented will be of great use should an active shooter incident occur on our campus. We also want to show gratitude to our campus community for supporting our Campus Safety and Shasta CARES events this semester. The support of our staff, faculty, administration and students is much appreciated. Our hope is that you will continue to show your support throughout the rest of the year as we continue to collaborate. Thank you. Sincerely,
