We are excited that DVSAS is the community partner for the screening of at the 2026 this afternoon at 1:15pm!

Dear Lara is a deeply personal documentary exposing decades of sexual abuse and institutional complicity in the world of classical music. After acclaimed violinist Lara St. John spoke out about her childhood assault at an elite music school, survivors from around the world wrote to her. She picked up a camera and set out to expose abuses of power and systematic cover-ups. Blending testimony, investigation, and an original score, the film is both an insider’s reckoning and a call for change.

Is there something unique about your garden - or something that you do that you think other gardeners would be curious about?

Do you keep your own bees, a worm/ant farm, a cool compost set-up, or something interesting or special to you? This is your chance to talk to other gardeners about it - a little show and tell if you will!

If you're interested in taking part of the coolest gardener idea exchange around, and supporting survivors at the same time - email us at development@dvsas.org or give us a call at 360-671-5714

Today is . 👖 This day began after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a r**e conviction in the 1990s because the victim was wearing tight jeans. They assumed that the victim must have "helped" the ra**st remove her jeans, thereby implying consent.

Outraged by this victim-blaming, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Inspired by this activism, Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in 1999.

What started as a local event in Los Angeles has grown into a worldwide movement to bring awareness to victim-blaming and the destructive myths that surround sexual violence.

R**e is NEVER a victim or survivor’s fault. Force, violence, and coercion NEVER "imply" consent.
