Are you a student at the City University of New York? Want to do something to end sexual violence?
We need CUNY students to lead the planning for an organizing forum we’re planning for the fall. If you have time this summer to attend meetings every 2-3 weeks, at convenient times and locations, please contact us for more information about joining the committee.

Online petitions for policy change
Here are some examples of student petitions addressing sexual assault that I’ve heard of recently:
At the University of Minnesota, asking for a policy of no or neutral comments to the media from the university and its staff in cases of alleged sexual assault by students:

At City College in New York, asking for reinstitution of door-to-door escort service:

Petitions are a great way to garner and demonstrate support. Remember, always address your petition to the individual(s) who can actually enact the change you’re demanding.
