The Every Voice Coalition

Who We Are: We are a student and young alum led non-profit bringing together students, community organizations and universities to combat campus sexual violence by empowering survivors and students to write, file, and fight for their own protections and support into law. Currently on the ground in 14 states and Washington D.C., we've successfully passed our student-written bills into law in 6 states and are looking to continue to build our advocacy across the country. What We Do: Sexual violence policies must reflect the real experiences of students on campus, and the movement must be led by students. Our legislation is written by students, and students lead our coalition, from campus organizing to legislative advocacy. For 30 years, researchers have documented epidemic levels of sexual violence on our college campuses. Incidence rates are even higher for students with marginalized identities. While no one policy can end campus sexual violence, there are proven measures that reduce incidence rates and support survivors. The Every Voice legislation filed across the country encompasses a set of basic protections that all students should have access to: ? Free medical and legal support services through Memorandums of Understanding between universities and rape crisis centers ? Amnesty policies that prevent survivors from being punished for breaking school code of conduct at the time of an incident, such as alcohol or drug use ? Confidential advising services to make clear survivors’ rights and options ? Public data on sexual violence to increase transparency, measure progress, and improve policy ? Universal, evidence-based annual prevention and response training for all students and employees
