We wear denim with purpose.
Denim Day is the last Wednesday in April when people across the world wear denim to denounce harmful behaviors and attitudes that surround sexual violence, celebrate body autonomy, and show support for survivors.
This year’s theme is #commUNITYsafety, which signifies how community is reclaiming and redefining safety.
On April 30th, Maspeth stands in solidarity to take a stand against sexual violence and promote a culture of consent, respect, and unity.
Join us by wearing denim and spreading awareness.
