The Every Voice Coalition

The Every Voice Coalition is located in Boston, United States on 50 Milk St. The Every Voice Coalition is rated 3 out of 5 in the category political organization in United States. We are students, young alumni, allies, and survivors of sexual violence. We are tired of seeing statistics come to life in the stories of those we love. The status quo of sexual violence is not acceptable to us. Now, we are calling on our peers, our administrators, and our elected representatives to be impatient for change and join us in demanding justice now. We chose the name “The Every Voice Coalition” because we believe that every voice deserves to be heard. Because there’s also a lot that the 1-in-5 statistic leaves out. It leaves out that 1 in 16 men will be assaulted - yes, sexual assault happens to men, too. It leaves out that the rate is even higher for people who identify as non-binary, for people of color, for people with disabilities, for LGBTQ students, for first-generation college students, and members of other marginalized communities. It leaves out the human cost that sexual violence imposes on students, families, and communities. If we’re going to break the cycle of sexual assault, that’s where we need to start: the individuals and communities who are directly impacted by sexual violence. What we need, in Ayanna Pressley’s words, is for the people closest to the pain, to be the people closest to the power. But that power won’t be given over freely - it has to be won. For those of us who say #NoMore and #TimesUp we have to actually be willing to show up for change. And that means doing the hard work of movement building, of holding those in power accountable, and of remaining committed through obstacles. Join our efforts to help make a change today!
