The Montgomery chapter of the Public Relations Council of Alabama (PRCA) has joined forces with Aid to Inmate Mothers (AIM) to increase the community’s awareness and support of the AIM organization and its mission – to provide services to Alabama’s incarcerated women with an emphasis on enhancing personal growth and strengthening bonds between mothers and their children. Following a successful “Pack-a-Purse” project this winter, the PRCA Montgomery Chapter is now partnering with AIM for the organization’s monthly Storybook Project. AIM’s Storybook Project offers inmate mothers a rare opportunity to read bedtime stories and send personal messages to their children through a personal video recording conducted by AIM staff and volunteers.

Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) will host the 16th annual Take Back the Night Rally and Vigil on April 12th on the steps on the State Capitol.

This event is to support anyone who has been sexually assaulted in Montgomery and the surrounding counties.

The evening's speakers include Reverend Edward Nettles of the "Enough is Enough" Stop the Violence Campaign and Ms. Cheryl Lang-Hardley, the coordinator of Standing Together Against Rape Sexual Assault Program.  Sexual Assault survivors in attendance will also have the opportunity to speak out.

The entire community is asked to come show their compassion and support for those who have been victims of sexual assault.

The rally and vigil will take place on Thursday April 12th at 6:00 p.m.
