January 18th: National Day of Action for Stalking Awareness

"Peggy had a sparkling personality and would light up a room. As the stalking continued and continued, we saw that shine fade." That's what Debbie Riddle says about her sister Peggy, who was murdered by her stalker 23 years ago today.

This National Stalking Awareness Month, let's bring back the sparkle — for Peggy and for all victims and survivors of stalking. Too often, the issue of stalking fades into the background. Not today. Stalking is a criminal, traumatic, and dangerous victimization that is all too prevalent. Survivors need our attention and support.

this . Wear something sparkly on January 18th and share your picture as part of the NSAM Day of Action. Learn more .

The CARE Office is here to support anyone impacted by power-based personal violence. If you or anyone you know would like to connect individually with our support team of Advocates, email us at care@uci.edu or call us at 949-824-7273.

The nation’s first stalking law was passed in California in 1990. Today, stalking is a crime in all 50 states and U.S. territories, in the District of Columbia, as well as under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the federal criminal code, and many Tribal Codes.

Do you know the stalking statute in your area? Check out SPARC’s interactive map to find your local stalking laws. https://www.stalkingawareness.org/map/

National Stalking Awareness Month calls us to break the silence surrounding this pervasive crime that affects millions. Stalking is a serious, dangerous, and potentially lethal crime that causes profound psychological harm to survivors. This January, we stand together to raise awareness, educate our community about the realities of stalking, and support those who have experienced this traumatic violation of safety and privacy. The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center (SPARC) at stalkingawareness.org provides valuable resources to help recognize warning signs, support survivors, and create a community that does not tolerate stalking behavior.

National Human Trafficking Prevention Month reminds us that modern-day slavery exists in our communities today. Human trafficking is a global crime that exploits people for profit, affecting an estimated 50 million individuals worldwide. This month is a call to action to raise awareness, recognize the signs, and support survivors on their journey to freedom and healing. Together, we can combat this injustice and be part of the solution. Learn more at Hope for Justice (hopeforjustice.org) to discover how you can get involved in the fight against human trafficking.

Let's start this new year by committing to awareness, education, and action. Together, we can create safer communities and brighter futures for all.

On the the last slide are some upcoming programs in January.

Happy New Year, Anteaters! As we begin another new year, we are met with new and familiar challenges and, perhaps more importantly, new opportunities to embrace hope, resiliency, growth, and kindness. I invite you to welcome all that and identify the steps to care for yourself and others. I invite you to create the spaces where the things you seek to develop and manifest can take shape and flourish.

CARE is working hard to meet the varied needs of our community of survivors, allies, and friends, and we would love to have you join us at any or all of our upcoming programs. Keep an eye out on our social media for more information. If you would like to connect individually with our support team of Advocates, email us at care@uci.edu or call us at 949-824-7273. We look forward to connecting with you.

Warmly,

Eli Pascal (they/them),
Director of UCI CARE

re:Write- Journaling As a Tool to Heal, Journal Prompt 4, courtesy of

Grab your journal. Find a place where you can be still. Take a deep breath in and a long breath out. When you are ready, reflect on the questions below:

How would you like to receive support from trusted friends and people in your life regarding your experience of power-based personal violence? (Feel free to express this through drawing, paint, or collage if words feel insufficient or difficult.)
Take a moment to write out how you might ask for the support you need. Please take your time and be gentle with yourself.

Grab your journal. Find a place where you can be still. Take a deep breath in and a long breath out. When you are ready, reflect on the questions below:

🍂 What might it feel like to be “the supported one?” (Feel free to express this through drawing, paint, or collage if words feel insufficient or difficult.)

🍂 Can you identify 1-2 people in your life, or organizations, you might be able to ask for support? (It’s okay if you cannot, please be gentle with yourself.)

🍂 What might it feel like to ask these folks or organizations for support? (Feel free to express this through drawing, paint, or collage if words feel insufficient or difficult.)

🍂 If you are not able to do so this week, you are invited to come back to this when you are ready.
