The Sac State Take Back the Night has very little support compared to the Sac City one, I wish there was a way to garner more support. I heard that to boost attendance to the Out of the Darkness walk, the event organizers did something to motivate the fraternities and sororities to come, which bolstered attendance a lot. I wish we would do the same for Take Back the Night, it’s really depressing to see barely 100 people walking against sexual violence at Sac State when our other walks get so much attention and hundreds of people walking. It’s happened every time I go (very small attendance) and it really sends a sad message. Also who runs the Sac State version? I’ve shared some ideas that I’ve been told to talk to them about but haven’t been able to find out what organization to email.
