Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors regularly adopts Proclamations to raise recognizing special events and issues in Mendocino County.
Summary of Request:
Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread and impacts every person in every community. SAAM aims to raise public awareness about sexual abuse, harassment, and assault and educate communities about how to be involved in prevention. This years SAAM campaign theme, Building Connected Communities, calls on each of us to work together to prevent sexual abuse, harassment, and assault. We believe when anyone experiences sexual violence, every community member is affected. We must strive to build more connected, respectful, and inclusive communities to promote our collective well-being and protect against the risk of sexual violence. We believe all of our communities will be safer and stronger by making them more equitable for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, races and ethnic backgrounds, ages, faiths, and abilities. By acknowledging April 24, 2024 as Denim Day, we celebrate our unity: unity in our shared core values and unity in our determination to end sexual violence.
