There's just one day to go, now and we hope you're as excited as we are! We're happy to announce the speakers and entertainment for the rally and afterparty!
The rally will have a host of inspiring speakers discussing different aspects of violence against women. There will be speakers from the Centre Against Sexual Assault, Women's Domestic Violence Service and Victorian Women with Disabilities Network, as well as academic Christine Craik (RMIT). AUSLAN representatives will be interpreting at the rally and afterparty performances, and the Wurundjeri Council will be providing a Welcome to Country.
Celebrating women's strength and survival, the afterparty at Trades Hall from 8:30pm will showcase the talent of some of Melbourne's hottest female performers: Ebony, Jan Cooper, Katie Pash, Jemima Jones, Egg and DJ Collective and LadyFingers. Food Not Bombs will be dishing up free vegan treats at Trades Hall.
Finally, for anyone who doesn't have a tshirt and wants one, we'll be selling them before the rally at the State Library.
We hope to see you all there with everyone you know!

Update
Thanks to everyone who came along to the trivia night the other week! It was great to see so many fabulous feminists and we've raised a lot of money to fund what should be an amazing Reclaim the Night! We're looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
We know that some of you weren't able to get tshirts in your sizes - we're printing up some more, so we should have plenty for everyone at the rally.
Reclaim the Night is getting closer, and we're still on the lookout for ideas about how to make it as wonderful as possible. If you have suggestions or would like to get involved, come along to our organising meetings at the RMIT Womyn's Room on Tuesdays at 5pm, or send us an email/comment.
Finally, we have a flier advertising the rally and march ready to go. It's available here. Do print it off and hand it out - at uni, at work, at home.
