\n<\/span>\"artwork\"<\/a>Wednesday, April 29, music and social activism will go hand in hand for Denim Day at Bombay\u2019s with the Local Love Project. Denim Day is a global statement in response to a 1992 Italian Supreme Court ruling which overturned a sexual assault conviction because the survivor wore \u201ctight jeans.\u201d You\u2019re invited to wear your favorite pair of jeans in solidarity as we take a visible stand against victim-blaming at 5 pm, followed with the amazing music by Kelly\u2019s Lot at Bombay Bar and Grill.<\/p>\n
