AWARE is the annual fundraising event for the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Donations go toward our vision of a world free of sexual violence via our four program areas: racial justice, advocacy, harm prevention, and systems change.

Join us on April 27 for AWARE 2023: A Conversation with Dr. Roxane Gay about sexual violence, rape culture, colonialism, and oppression. Dr. Roxane Gay is known internationally for her no-holds-barred exploration of feminism, rape culture, and social criticism. Notable works include Hunger, Dr. Gay’s autobiography focused on her relationship with her body and experience as a survivor of sexual violence; Bad Feminist, a collection of essays widely considered the quintessential exploration of modern feminism; and Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, a searing anthology on the realities of rape culture.

Angela Davis is the host of MPR News with Angela Davis, a weekday talk show that airs at 9 am. Davis has more than 25 years of television reporting and anchoring experience and leads conversations on a wide variety of topics including how the state is changing, Minnesota’s persistent racial disparities, economic issues, education, and mental health.
