Thanks for the laughs, Robin. You will be missed. 

...it was clear that Mr. Williams was one of the most explosively, exhaustingly, prodigiously verbal comedians who ever lived. The only thing faster than his mouth was his mind, which was capable of breathtaking leaps of free-associative absurdity. x

Denim Day 2014

We're celebrating Denim Day with a volunteer project on Friday, April 11th. We're collecting old jeans, cutting them up, and building a quilt. On Denim Day (April 23rd), we encourage you to take a picture of yourself in denim, post on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Tumblr (tag us!), and use the hashtag #DenimDayNYC.

Help us fight destructive attitudes about sexual assault and abuse!

About Denim Day

Denim Day grew out of a 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. The judges reasoned the victim’s tight jeans meant that she had to have helped her assailant remove them, implying consent. People all over the world were outraged, and wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes and myths surrounding sexual assault.

Peace Over Violence, a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles, led by Patti Giggans, organized the country’s first Denim Day event in 1999. Under POV’s leadership, Denim Day LA & USA has grown into a national movement. In 2011, more than 2 million Americans participated in Denim Day.
