Past events:

February 26: Website launch party at Octane Coffee. Join us for street harassment bingo, share your own stories at our laptop bar, pose for badass photos, dance the night away, and, of course, tell us where you’d like to see HollabackAtlanta go!

February 26th: HollabackAtlanta is proud to represent at the Georgia Walk for Choice.

February 28th: My Sister’s Room will be holding its first community forum to give Atlanta residents a place to stand up and speak out about issues in our town. Lauren Zink from HollabackAtlanta as well as representatives from Women Healing Women, the Southern Comfort Conference, and MondoHomo will be participating in the discussion.

March 20th: Hell yes, it’s the first ever International Anti-Street Harassment Day. We’re conducting our first on-site street harassment survey at the Five Points MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) train station.  An extremely busy train stop, we hope to find out more information about the harassment faced by MARTA riders on a daily basis.  Currently MARTA has no anti-street harassment policies, and we’re hoping to change that!  By conducting research, we want to present the peeps in charge at MARTA with some data to prove that they need to take harassment more seriously.  Hopefully this project will enable HollabackAtlanta to help make Atlanta’s public transit a harassment-free space for all who ride it! (Hey, did you miss us? Take the survey online.)
