Denim Day

APRIL 30, 2025 | BROOKLYN & MANHATTAN

Rising Ground staff and young people from our Paths to Success programs came together to take part in Denim Day on the last day of April, giving voice and support to victims of sexual assault and to speak out against sexual violence in all its forms. The day of advocacy and community featured a march across Brooklyn Bridge, culminating in a rally in Foley Square where Rising Ground’s Director of Respect + Responsibility, Alvaro Pinzon, and Early RAPP Community Educator, Heidi Pena, spoke. Thanks to our youth for leading the way—breaking cycles and building a world where everyone feels safe, heard, and supported, and thanks to our staff for leading with heart and purpose.
