Let's join Women's March and other feminist organizations in a vigil to honor Virginia Roberts Giuffre, survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, who passed away one year ago on April 25th! Virginia bravely told the truth – and her story helped authorities expose Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Together, we demand justice for survivors and stand together against sexual violence in all its forms.

We will meet outside of Smithsonian station ahead of the event, then head over to the vigil at 1600 Constitution Ave NW.

Note: Virginia loved blue butterflies and the organizers asked all attending to bring one. We will have a few extra.
