White Ribbon Day- MA

Sexual assault is an effective way of policing both individuals and entire communities through fear and violence. That's why JDI is so committed to prevention and uplifting the work of r**e crisis centers. Together, we can change this narrative!

Check out these national campaigns for more information and ways to get involved.

📈1 in 2 trans people will experience sexual assault in their lifetime.
📍Gender non-conforming youth and Black, brown and Indigenous trans folks of all ages are particularly targeted for sexual harm.
📜States across the US and local communities here in MA have introduced and/or passed hateful and harmful laws that will foster violence.

What can we do?

1️⃣Resist and oppose all proposals that limit access to gender affirming care and knowledge about these issues!
2️⃣Learn more so that you can engage in conversations with your friends, family members, coworkers and elected officials!
3️⃣Show your love by supporting organizations that support the community through services and advocacy!
