The Zonta Club of Denver, USA, partnered with The Blue Bench (TBB) and the Novel Strand Brewing Company on 3 December to promote Zonta Says NO and educate patrons about violence against women. 

Since the beginning of 2021, the club’s advocacy, service and public relations committees partnered with TTB to create a poster to raise awareness of sexual harassment and assault. TTB is one of the club’s service award winners. TBB’s Safe Bars Project trains staff in establishments that serve liquor how to recognize and respond to sexual harassment and assault incidents. 

The posters are displayed in 10 Safe Bar trained businesses and they offer information about consent and safety along with phone numbers and a Quick Response (QR) Code for access to sexual assault and domestic violence resources available. 

Additional establishments are scheduled to receive posters and training in 2022.
