Christine Kramar, of Vegas for the Family, speaking at the rally Nov. 12, 2011

We saw.

We organized.

We rallied!

Saturday’s rally against hate speech and jokes about rape was a success thanks to the hard work and quick response of a lot of great people in the community. We had a nice turnout of about three dozen people, including parents, activists, advocates for survivors of sexual violence, and members of the Northwest Community Church. I represented the Nevada Coalition Against Sexual Violence as a member of their board.

Here’s a video of the three moms (including myself) who spoke:

The story has been picked up by different media outlets, too:

• Coverage in the Nevada Appeal
• TV coverage on Channel 13 (ABC)
• The Bleacher Report
• Eddie Goldman of No Holds Barred mentioned it on his podcast
• The press release got mentioned on this MMA blog
• We were interviewed with Loretta Hunt on KNPR on Nov. 15

**UPDATE: I was quoted on SI.com regarding a new rash of comments made by Miguel Torres and Rashad Evans.
