Get Ready to Walk! And Shed Light on Violence Against Women
The CBA Young Lawyers Section is teaming up with Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® to organize a unique walk for
men through Chicago’s Loop. Men are invited to literally walk one mile through Chicago’s Loop in women’s
high-heeled shoes (women are invited to participate and support the male walkers). The event aims to raise
awareness about the cause and effects of sexualized violence and will be a fun way to get people talking about
a very difficult subject.
DETAILS:
Thursday, May 26, 2016/5:00-6:30 p.m.
Kick-Off Location: CBA, 321 S. Plymouth Ct., Chicago
REGISTRATION:
