On Denim Day, ask participants to create their own “Ask Me Why I’m Wearing Jeans” pins.
Hold a rally in a main campus auditorium or public space to show support and a unified campus.
Hold a half day conference for students, faculty, and staff to come and learn about how to react, support, and respect sexual assault survivors.
Encourage Women’s Studies or Social Justice based courses to research Denim Day, look into how they can make a change in legislation for sexual assault survivors, or write letters to a State Representative for change in policy.
Encourage participants to research their schools handling of sexual assault reports. If there is need for change, write to the editor of the school newspaper and community media.
In order to catch participant’s attention, the efficient usage of institution’s social media is vital.
