This week's calls to action include the following events and activities. All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.

Rally against sexual violence

Several SUNY College at Brockport academic departments and student groups will hold a rally "to make it clear that 'locker-room talk' and the sexual and domestic violence it propagates will not be tolerated." The event will be held on Wednesday, October 26. Protesters can gather near Lot L outside of the admissions building at 7:30 p.m. and there will be a march from the campus into the village.

The lecture will be held at Nazareth College's Shults Center.

Voters' questions addressed at forum

Elections commissioners Thomas Ferrarese and David Van Varick will hold a question-and-answer session to address issues such as security measures to protect votes and voters, use of paper ballots, and whether some of the recent out-of-state election reform measures will become legislation in New York State.
