Good luck tomorrow to our Boston 10K for Women team! 🎉🏃‍♀️

We’re so proud of our incredible runners for taking on the 10K and supporting the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation. Every mile helps advance our mission to prevent violence, promote safety and build a safer world for all. 🦋

Cheer them on in the comments! 💙 VTMF.org

Believe. Listen. Support. 🦋

"Jane Doe" is the name used to protect the identity of a sexual assault survivor. When we say we are all Jane Doe, we mean we stand with every survivor. If someone tells you they’ve been assaulted, your response matters.

✔ Believe them.
✔ Listen without judgment.
✔ Ask how you can support them.
✘ Don't ask what they were wearing, drinking, or doing. It is never their fault.

Together, we can create communities where survivors feel safe speaking up and know they will be heard. VTMF.org

The allegations coming out of Cornell University are deeply disturbing and a painful reminder of why our work matters. Every person deserves to feel safe. Every survivor deserves to be heard and supported. And every institution has a responsibility to foster a culture where sexual violence is never tolerated and accountability matters.

At the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation, we believe preventing violence requires all of us. It means speaking up, challenging harmful behaviors and creating communities where safety is a shared responsibility. We are proud to stand with so many women and men who are working for a safer world.

Reports of sexual violence at Cornell have many of us thinking about survivors. If you've been harmed, it's not your fault, and you deserve to be believed and supported. The National Sexual Assault hotline is 1-800-656-4673, free and available 24/7 for a text or call. We stand with survivors of sexual violence everywhere and with those working to create meaningful change. 🦋 VTMF.org

Being part of the community means showing up, connecting, and helping create safer spaces for everyone. ❤️

We were grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Fitchburg State University "Rock the Block" event, welcoming students back to campus and kicking off a new year of student activities!

Two of our board members had the opportunity to meet students, share our mission, and encourage conversations around personal safety, making safe decisions, and looking out for one another throughout the school year.

Thank you to Fitchburg State University for including us in such a wonderful event. We loved connecting with students in a meaningful way. 🦋 VTMF.org
