Our Mission:
The Every Voice Coalition trains and mobilizes the next generation of student leaders to pass survivor-centered state laws addressing campus sexual violence.
The Every Voice Coalition was founded in 2016 by students and survivors in Massachusetts who were tired of seeing sexual violence on college campuses affect us and those we love.
The Every Voice Coalition brings together students and survivors, community organizations, and universities to combat campus sexual violence by passing student and survivor-written legislation on the state-level. A student, young alum and survivor-led organization now currently active in 15 states with 11 bills already passed into law, The Every Voice Coalition empowers students and survivors to lead grassroots movements and pass legislation to prevent campus sexual violence and support survivors.
We envision a world where sexual violence
is not a part of the college experience.
