Fighting to end assaults at music festivals

Sunday, July 30, 2017
CHICAGO (WLS) -- The summer music festival season is upon us with concerts happening across the country. Chicago is home to some of the world's biggest festivals. Now a local non-profit is making it their mission to make sure everyone has a fun-filled and safe time.

Between Friends is an organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence and building a community free of abuse. The group is teaming up with Rape Victim Advocates for a OurMusicMyBody campaign. The goal is to stop the culture of sexual assault at concerts and to raise awareness about the issues.
