The theme of Denim Day 2025 is USE YOUR VOICE.
On April 30th, 2025, we encourage you to use your voice to speak out in support of survivors of sexual assault, amplifying stories, experiences, and the need for collective change. It calls for all of us to be vocal in our solidarity, whether by sharing personal stories, advocating for policies that protect survivors, holding space for those who have been affected, or wearing your denim with purpose.
Your voice is a tool that can create connection, inspire change, and make someone feel valued. Whether you're speaking up in small, everyday ways or on a larger, more public scale, using your voice to support others fosters community and empathy.
We will not remain silent. Use Your Voice and join the Denim Day movement.
