Law & Order column: Ending violence against women the subject of virtual presentation - Chicago Tribune
Residents are invited to join online at 7 p.m. that day to hear community members discuss how to create a safer community for woman and all citizens through respect and kindness.
High school students who entered either a poem or essay in a Rising project will be on hand to share their works. Round Lake High School’s Ghostlight Theater will “share their interpretation of the place that respect, grace and kindness have in ending violence against women,” the Rising Group said.
“This will be an amazing program that highlights the different ways that we can come together as a community to support and raise up those survivors affected by violence,” he said.
Lake County Rising is part of the One Billion Rising global movement. It is sponsored by the Lake County state’s attorney’s office in partnership with Nicasa Behavioral Health Services, the College of Lake County’s Women’s Outreach and Programs, Mano a Mano Family Resource Center, A Safe Place, ZCenter, and YWCA of Metropolitan Chicago.
