Los Angeles officials wore jeans for Denim Day, the world’s longest-running sexual violence prevention campaign.
Elected officials, survivors of sexual violence and other community leaders joined together in their denim and jeans on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall to proclaim Wednesday, April 26, “Denim Day in Los Angeles.”
“We’re all here standing in solidarity today with one another to say there is no excuse for sexual assault,” said L.A. Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, who led and co-hosted the Denim Day kickoff. “There is no excuse for sexual assault or domestic violence and we know that this becomes an unfortunate cycle of violence toward women.”
