The SAAM Day of Action is April 1, 2025. Learn how you can get involved!
The first Tuesday of every April is the SAAM Day of Action. The Day of Action is an opportunity to start the month with highly visible and coordinated actions. It’s the perfect opportunity to plan an event, post SAAM-related social media content, or participate in the #30DaysofSAAM Instagram challenge. You can also find your own way to get involved on April 1st.
Wear Teal on the Day of Action
Chances are someone in your life is a survivor of sexual harassment, assault, or abuse, even if they have never shared their story with you. Show your support for survivors of sexual harassment and abuse by wearing teal — the color of sexual violence prevention — on April 1st and post a selfie to Twitter or Instagram using #SAAM2025. By wearing teal, you signal that you support survivors and are safe to talk to if they need to reach out.
