SANFORD — A Take Back the Night candlelight vigil and speakout event hosted by Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine scheduled for tonight in Central Park has been postponed due to rain in the forecast, organizers said.
The agency will reschedule the event, in which survivors of sexual violence and supporters will be invited to share their stories and experiences. A new date has not yet been selected.
Those who have experienced sexual violence can call the free, 24-hour, statewide sexual assault crisis and support line at 1-800-871-7741 or TTY, 1-888-458-5599.
