Colonel Russell Savatt, base commanding officer, Sunny from Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard , along with serval base personnel joined MCCS Barstow Behavioral Health in a group photo sporting their denim in front of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor statue aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, California, April 29. Individuals participate by wearing jeans to challenge victim-blaming perspectives and to express support for survivors. This initiative originated from a 1990s ruling by an Italian court that erroneously suggested that wearing tight jeans indicated consent.
