PRESS RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 AMBER ROSE ANNOUNCES SECOND SLUTWALK LOS ANGELES FOR OCTOBER 1ST Non-profit Amber Rose Foundation launches Crowdrise campaign to expand the successful, multi-faceted event for empowering women in Downtown L.A. Los Angeles: Mother, philanthropist, feminist and entrepreneur Amber Rose announced today the date for the second SlutWalk Los Angeles: October 1st, 2016 in Downtown L.A. Her non-profit foundation also
launched a Crowdrise.com/slutwalkLA campaign to crowd fund making
the event even bigger than her first successful SlutWalk Los Angeles, last October.
The Amber Rose Foundation’s goal is also to expand this event dedicated to women’s empowerment and fighting against victim blaming to other
cities across the globe. Additional sponsors devoted to supporting women will be announced soon. How can you get involved? Give via Crowdrise.

“As you can see in the news every day, from sexist remarks on the
campaign trail to sick sexual abuse in schools and corporations, the fight against f*cked up, unacceptable behavior is really just beginning,” said Amber Rose. “Last year thousands came out to support women facing
these problems every day and to say loud and clear, My Clothes Are Not My Consent!”
SlutWalk Los Angeles will be hosted by The Amber Rose Foundation, a
non-profit organization Amber Rose started to support her core mission of
PRESS KIT 2016
uplifting, empowering, and enhancing the platform of women around the
world. The money raised from donations will be used to bring this event to life with on-site services such as HIV testing, counseling, sexual awareness booths, food and merchandise vendors and a host of other services. But
most importantly, donations will support the foundation and organizations across the country of women who have been subject to slut shaming, sexual assault, and even rape.
The 2015 SlutWalk Los Angeles was wildly successful, becoming a top news story internationally and garnering 60 million impressions. Many people
learned about the SlutWalk movement for the first time during this event including signature slogans such as “My Clothes Are Not My Consent” and “My Pussy, My Choice.” Amber Rose also made news by publicly
sharing her personal story of slut shaming she experienced for the first time on stage—a moment that left her, and most of the crowd, both in
tears and inspired. The October 2016 event will expand to include more
entertainment and special guest speakers, a fashion show, art installations, and more counseling and education opportunities.
Of course, the day’s center piece is still the slut walk itself, modeled after the global movement that originated in Toronto in 2011 after a police
officer told a group of college women that if they wanted to avoid being
sexually assaulted, they shouldn’t dress like “sluts”. This statement sparked an outrage that lead to a full attack against victim blaming, sexual violence and gender inequality. In Los Angeles, women and their supporters will be invited to march and speak out to kick off the day’s events.

SLUT:
A word that exploded into a new but disturbing context after a Toronto police officer told a crowd of college women that if they wanted to avoid sexual assault, they shouldn’t dress like sluts. Infuriated women across the country, outraged by this comment, united to take a stand. Dressed in thigh highs, halter-tops, sexy pants and bustiers, they gathered in more than 70 cities to make a statement about sexual injustice. Propelled by the mission of sexual injustice, victim blaming and gender equality (or women empowerment), the Amber Rose SlutWalk began...
MISSION:
To deliver a flawlessly executed event geared toward raising awareness about sexual injustice and gender inequality. The Amber Rose SlutWalk aims to impact and uplift while shifting the paradigm of rape culture. The event provides a safe, all-inclusive space to entertain, educate, and empower.
WOMEN HAS SURVIVED RAPE OR AN ATTEMPTED RAPE IN THEIR LIFETIME.

not your
normal slutWalk
Even though this is a SlutWalk, don’t let the work “walk” mislead you, the Amber Rose SlutWalk is more of an awareness day festival filled with all types of cool activities, contests and giveaways, vendors, speakers, panelist, performances, live DJ, sign-making, educational booths, photo booths, free breast cancer exams, HIV testing and much more. This year, VH1 will be taping the event live, so it will be sure to attract top musical performances. Thousands of people across gender, sex, race, age, class, education, profession, will gather for an unforgettable experience. Pershing Square will be transformed into a world platform for a mission that needs a large stage. There is no recipe on what someone involved in the Amber Rose SlutWalk needs to look like, you DO NOT need to come from an activist background or know anything about these issues. The only requirement is to be inspired by your own passion to do something about the issues that plague our generation. Our mission is serious but this day of dressing up, strutting your stuff and standing up for gender equality is filled with fun, laughter and community in support of a tremendous cause. It is about self-expression, unity, shedding stereotypes and supporting one another.
