In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month #saam2016, IL Imagines Chicago is launching #ourrightsrightnow photo campaign. 

We want to show support for survivors of sexual violence with disabilities through the power of pictures.




Our Goal:
We want to collect and post as many pictures of people holding a sign with a supportive message for survivors of sexual violence with disabilities.  Like the ones shown above and below.
Send questions to ilimagineschicago@gmail.com 

We invite Survivors, People with Disabilities, and Allies.
