This Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), let’s focus on what consent really means.

Consent is not a one-time agreement it’s an ongoing, mutual understanding built on respect and communication. It must be freely given, informed, and can be withdrawn at any time.

Checking in, listening, and honoring boundaries aren’t extra they’re essential. Together, we can create a culture where consent is always the standard

What is one change that could bring us closer to a future free from sexual abuse, assault, and harassment?

What if we started earlier teaching consent, boundaries, and respect as everyday conversations, not one-time lessons?

Small shifts in what we teach, model, and normalize can create big changes in what we accept.

What’s one change you would make?

Prevention starts with what we choose to change at home, in schools, and in our communities.

Your voice and ideas matter. What would you do differently?

For Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), it’s important to challenge harmful myths about consent.

Consent is never silence, hesitation, or pressure it’s a clear, informed, and freely given YES. Anything less means stop and check in.

We can all help create safer spaces by respecting boundaries, communicating openly, and understanding that consent must be ongoing and mutual.

Awareness leads to action. Action leads to change.

The Clothesline Project is a public awareness initiative that uses decorated T-shirts to give survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other forms of abuse a voice. Each shirt is created by a survivor (or in honor of one) and hung on a clothesline display, symbolizing both personal storytelling and the collective scale of violence.

This month, we stand together for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Our incredible team has been out in the community—connecting, educating, and raising awareness about sexual violence and the importance of support for survivors. Every conversation, every resource shared, and every moment spent listening helps break the silence and build a safer, more informed community.

We believe survivors. We support healing. We advocate for change.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their voice, or helped spread awareness. Kendra Scott
