💡 Did you know? One in five women in the United States has experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime. Sexual violence impacts people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. But prevention is possible through awareness, support systems, and education.

👖 Today, we honor #DenimDay 👖 Wearing denim is more than a fashion choice—it’s a stand against victim blaming and a commitment to raising awareness about sexual violence. Today and every day, we uplift survivors and reaffirm our unwavering support. 💙✨

🗣️We must pass Solutions Not Suspensions to make sure youth can attend schools with a positive, restorative climate! Criminalizing students is not a sustainable option for our State, be on the right side of history and pass this bill.

🗣️ Today, 200+ parents, students & advocates are in Albany calling on NY lawmakers to pass the #SolutionsNotSuspensionsNY bill (A.118/S.134). Our students deserve solutions and support, not punishment. #PassA118S134 #EndSchoolPushout
