On Saturday, October 18, 2008, San Francisco Women Against Rape presents the
12th Annual Artists Against Rape.

This dynamic event features local poets,
artists and activists, speaking out against sexual assault and offers a unique
supportive space for expression and community building. As San Francisco’s
only rape crisis center, the event aims to help build an anti-violence
movement that prioritizes survivors, people of color, people with
disabilities, immigrants, low- income individuals, queer people, youth and
others who have been marginalized or silenced. It is a night of healing and
transformation through the arts.

This event promises to highlight a diverse mixture of seasoned and new
performers and artists alike. Show your support of SFWAR’s programs and
services by attending the silent auction held before the event. All proceeds
go directly to supporting our mission of empowering survivors and their healing.

This year San Francisco Women Against Rape also celebrates 35 years of
providing excellent services to survivors of rape and sexual assault.

Pre-show, we will have a reception that honors those who have given their
time, money, and hearts to support SFWAR and survivors of violence over the
last three decades. Please join us as we use art and celebration as tools for
community and personal healing. Venue is wheelchair accessible and the show
will be ASL translated.

San Francisco Women Against Rape (SFWAR) is a grassroots, political rape
crisis center established in 1973. We are committed to anti-oppression as an
integral part of our work of providing support to survivors of sexual assault
and their friends and families and using education and community organizing as
tools of prevention.
