*10. Petition for Massachusetts Campus Sexual Assault Survivors*
*When:* now
*Sign: *link
<https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/331/392/803/?src=influencers&campaign=EveryVoice>
Massachusetts state Representatives Tricia Farley-Bouvier and Lori Ehrlich
have introduced two bills that will increase students' safety and provide
more resources for sexual assault survivors:
- S.2203/H.632 ensures that the sexual assault reporting and response
requirements set by the Obama administration not only stay in place, but
are made stronger than ever before.
- H.4159 (previously H.2998) requires every Massachusetts college and
university to administer an anonymous sexual assault climate surveys to
their students
Students have been working on these bills for over four years, and they
could forever change how Massachusetts campuses respond to sexual
assault—but only if they're brought to a vote and passed. Sign this
petition to join Every Voice Coalition in demanding that Massachusetts
state representatives and college presidents support these important bills.
