‘Reclaim the Night Brighton’ returns!

Besi Besemar October 25, 2013

Reclaim the night

Last year over 500 people came together to take a stand against gender based violence. Join them once again at 6pm on Saturday November 16 at Brighton Station to Reclaim the Night in Brighton and show those who “deny us the right to walk the streets without fear that they are not welcome in the city”.

THE MARCH

Reclaim the Night Brighton is open to people of all genders. The march is trans* inclusive and those working in the sex industry are welcomed to join the fight for safer streets. Families are also welcome.

A buddy system will be in place for those who don’t want to walk alone. If you would like to be allocated a buddy to attend the event with, send a facebook message to Brighton Feminist Collective

Or EMAIL: brightonfeministcollective@gmail.com

The march will be starting at Brighton train station and ending at the rally point. For those who think they’ll be marching at a slower pace there will be the option of space at the front of the march.

THE RALLY

The march will be followed by a rally at the Jubilee Library in Brighton town centre which is a fully accessible venue. The lineup of speakers and entertainment will be announced closer to the event. Please note that no alcohol is allowed inside the rally venue.

THE AFTER PARTY

This year Traumfrau are hosting the Reclaim the Night after party at Latest Music Bar to dance the night away. The event is for over 18’s only. More details to be announced.

Despite best efforts organisers were unable to find a fully accessible venue for the after party. The first floor of this venue is wheelchair accessible, but there are no accessible toilets.

If you’d like to get involved in organising or stewarding Reclaim the Night Brighton you can post a message on Facebook, or email them at brightonfeministcollective@gmail.com or go along to one of their meetings every Thursday between 7-9pm at the Brighton Feminist Collective.
