Denim Day at its core is an awareness campaign. So, let's share the story of Denim Day and the message: THERE IS NO EXCUSE AND NEVER AN INVITATION TO RAPE.

​

The below images, text, photos, and flyers are all yours to use to share on social media, at your school, workplace, church, community center, coffee shop bulletin board — wherever you can get the message out!

​

Encourage your workplace or school to allow everyone to wear jeans Wednesday for a small donation to Partners Against Violence! Flyers available to post below.

Be sure to tag us @partnersagainstviolence and @peaceovrviolnce
