Take Back the Night and Bike Back the Night is a yearly event at Portland State University jointly sponsored by the PSU Women's Resource Center and the Portland Women's Crisis Line. The main purpose of Take Back the Night is to raise awareness of sexual violence in our community and provide a place for students and members of the community to rally together and speak out about this important issue. In true Portland style the event includes a bike ride as well as a traditional march through the city.

Loretta Stinson is a survivor of a fifteen year relationship with an abusive parter.  She recently published a fictionalized account of her story through Hawthorne Books, titled Little Green.  Parts of the proceeds from sales of the book are donated to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
