About this Event
Join us for our Raksha Solidarity Vigil for Empowerment and Healing with survivors.
Raksha is a GA-based non profit with a mission to promote a stronger and healthier South Asian community through confidential support services, education and advocacy. Raksha's programs and services include crisis intervention, counseling, and referral services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as community education and outreach.
