We’re proud to share for our friends at The Ark Shelter in recognizing Denim Day 💙

Denim Day is more than just wearing jeans — it’s a powerful statement against victim blaming and a show of support for survivors of sexual assault. What began as a response to an unjust court ruling has grown into a global movement for awareness, education, and change.

Join us!! On April 29, 2026 by wearing denim and standing in solidarity. Together, we can raise awareness, support survivors, and continue the fight to end sexual violence.
