BRIGHT Stands with Take Back the Night

BRIGHT was honored to stand with Albion Fellows Bacon Center for Take Back the Night 2025. This event brought our community together to raise awareness about sexual violence and domestic abuse, and to show survivors that they are not alone.

The evening was filled with voices, stories, and solidarity. Anna, Heather, Little Bird, Kris, and Ian were there representing BRIGHT, and Bri contributed art that added to the spirit of the night.

Together we stood alongside neighbors, advocates, and survivors, reminding each other that change happens when we come together.

For BRIGHT, joining this event reflected the values that guide everything we do. We believe in care, connection, and building a community where everyone is safe and supported. Take Back the Night was a powerful reminder that when we unite, our light can outshine even the heaviest darkness.heaviest darkness.
