ABUSE IS NOT LOVE X IT’S ON US IN THE US
Prevention education is critical to ensuring safe campuses for all students - it is not enough to solely focus on response after sexual violence has occurred. Imagine a world in which all students graduate from college without having been sexually assaulted. That is the goal of It’s On Us.
It’s On Us was founded in 2014 as an initiative of the Obama administration. Now, this non-profit organization builds movement to combat campus sexual assault by engaging all students, including young men. It is the largest student activation program of its kind.
The association is grounded in a peer-to-peer prevention education model empowering students to teach one another sexual assault awareness and consent education, bystander intervention and survivor support. Today, It’s On Us supports 250+ registered campus chapters and affiliate programs nationwide.
Additionally, It’s On Us is the only program of its kind to combine grassroots organizing with high-impact culture change campaigns through partnerships with media outlets, creative agencies, and key opinion leaders. Through these partnerships, the association reaches millions of young people with critical prevention and associated messaging.
