Unfortunately, most of these crimes go unreported,\u201d says Ronny Washington, ACC student life coordinator. \u201cIt&#8217;s important that colleges and universities do their part to support victims, raise awareness, and create a safe environment for students and members of their community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton will lead a rally at the north entrance of campus followed by a march against sexual assault and a candlelight vigil. Participants also can participate in the Clothesline Project, an avenue for victims and survivors affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt and hanging it on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake Back the Night\u201d is as an international effort to end sexual violence in all of its forms, including sexual assault, sexual abuse, dating violence, and domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>For more information contact Ronny Washington at rwashin1@austincc.edu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive  embed-responsive-16by9\">\n<div class=\"iframe-container\">\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-responsive-item\"   class=\"embed-responsive-item\"   title=\"ACC Take Back the Night 2015\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wtYEUFdB9fk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College\u2019s inaugural \u201cTake Back the Night\u201d event\u00a0 11 a.m. \u2013 1 p.m. \u00a0Tuesday, April 28| Highland Campus 6101 Airport Blvd. Austin Community College (ACC) will host its inaugural \u201cTake\u00a0Back\u00a0the\u00a0Night\u201d march, rally, and vigil to raise &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/2015\/04\/22\/acc-hosts-rally-and-march-against-sexual-violence\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3556,"featured_media":34037,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,17,18],"tags":[204,62,203],"class_list":["post-34035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-and-community","category-news-and-announcements","category-official-acc-press-releases","tag-awareness","tag-event","tag-take-back-the-night"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3556"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
