On Denim Day, we reaffirm a simple truth: Clothing is never consent.

Denim Day began in response to a court ruling that blamed a survivor’s jeans for the violence committed against her. Today, it serves as a global reminder to challenge harmful narratives and reject victim-blaming.

What someone wears is never an excuse for harm.

💙 We all have a role in ending sexual violence—by listening, believing, and speaking out.

If there's a survivor in your life who's still waiting on the sun,
let them know that you're there for them, even on the days
when all you can do is wait with them.

"We're Not All Blessed With Exit Wounds"
--from Gardens From Graves, by Kristin Kory

If you ask me about letting go
I'll tell you that we're not all blessed
with exit wounds

I'll tell you that one day you'll turn it loose
you'll let it go away from you
but some things aren't so easily scattered to sea
sometimes it's easier to let it stay

until the sun that comes from nowhere
cuts holes in the darkness
and breaks you open

and when it pulls misery from night
and burdens from body
I'll tell you that you'll find feathers
in the spaces left behind
