Take Back the Night Marches originated in California in the 1970s to protest violence against women. The marches spread around the country, and soon after students began organized annual Take Back the Night marches and rallies at Middlebury. Annual TBTN rallies at Middlebury continued into the 2000s. In the late 90's and early 2000's FAM also organized an annual "Take Back The Night Week," in which they held events and screenings, and invited speakers, on the topic of violence against women.
NOTE: Related content/context for Take Back The Night Week events can be found in the "Feminist Action at Middlebury/Coalition for Feminist Consciousness" collection. This group was responsible for organizing many of the Take Back the Night events over the years.

In this Campus opinion piece, Landis reflects on recent racial issues on campus, and asks members of the Middlebury community to examine another issue that has been swept under the rug, sexual assault. Landis discusses the fact that sexual assault is a large issue at Middlebury, and to believe otherwise is a result of poor education, reporting, and conversations around the issue. She insists that this is a problem the entire community needs to take action against and criticizes the way that Middlebury fails to address it, using the sexual assault policy and blue lights as examples. Here is the article from The Campus' archives, as well as a photo of the article as it was originally printed.

Stares and Stairs group
Description
An account of the resource
Stares and Stairs was a performance activism group formed in January of 2016 by Morgan Grady-Benson ‘18, Chi Chi Chang ‘18, Nell Sather ‘19, and Liz Dunn ‘18. After taking Lida Winfield’s J-term class, “Radical Humanity: Performance and Social Activism,” this group of students decided to challenge the culture of sexual assault on Middlebury’s campus through performance activism. Their estimated 10-12 performances between winter 2016 and spring 2018 took place in active party spaces; Atwater Suites, Social Houses, the Spring Concert, and an attempted performance at the Rites of Spring [An invite-only party held every spring by Middlebury’s secret societies/fraternities]. During performances four “performers” would stand spread out on a flight of stairs, in various states of undress, handprints in purple paint on their skin, not engaging verbally with those passing by and holding signs that read “I’m not asking for it,” “I’m still not asking for it,” and “Sexual assault leaves a mark.” Accompanying the “performers” were the “bodyguards” who engaged with audience members, managed their reactions in order to maintain a safe environment, and passed out slips of paper that gave information about the group, educational materials, and the date and time of their routine post-performance debrief and reflection discussion.
