Believing Survivors is PREVENTION

09/19/2026

The Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act of 2026 is a brand-new federal bill introduced in Congress on September 15, 2026, by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), and Deborah Ross (D-NC). It is specifically designed to provide financial restitution to survivors of sexual violence when the federal government violated their rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA). It explicitly includes survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Swipe to learn more about what it proposes and who would qualify for financial restitution under it.

The first few months of the fall semester are known as the Red Zone—a period when more than half of campus sexual assaults occur.

For many students, this is the first time living away from home. They’re navigating new relationships, parties, dorms, social circles, alcohol, and unfamiliar environments—all while trying to figure out who they are and where they belong.

Sexual violence is never the fault of the person who experiences it. The answer cannot simply be “be careful.” The responsibility belongs to institutions, communities, and all of us to create environments where sexual violence is prevented, recognized, and taken seriously.

If we know when students are most vulnerable to sexual violence, we have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to do something about it.

That means:

→ Teach consent clearly and continuously, not just during freshman orientation.
→ Make bystander intervention part of campus culture.
→ Create safer party and social environments where students can look out for one another.
→ Make reporting accessible, confidential, and survivor-centered.
→ Provide real support for survivors, including medical care, counseling, advocacy, and academic accommodations.
→ Hold perpetrators accountable instead of placing the burden of prevention on potential victims.
→ Pay particular attention to students who face heightened vulnerability, including first-year students, women, and LGBTQ+/non-binary students.

And for students: look out for each other. Check in. Believe people when they tell you something happened. Intervene when something feels wrong. Know where your campus resources are before you need them.

Preventing sexual violence isn’t about teaching people how to avoid being assaulted.

It’s about building a culture where assault is harder to commit, easier to report, and impossible to ignore.

That’s how we tend the garden. 🌱

The first few months of the fall semester are known as the Red Zone—a period when more than half of campus sexual assaults occur.

And the students most vulnerable to sexual violence are often those who are just entering campus life: first-year students, particularly undergraduate women and LGBTQ+/non-binary students.

For many students, this is the first time living away from home. They’re navigating new relationships, parties, dorms, social circles, alcohol, and unfamiliar environments—all while trying to figure out who they are and where they belong.

Sexual violence is never the fault of the person who experiences it. The answer cannot simply be “be careful.” The responsibility belongs to institutions, communities, and all of us to create environments where sexual violence is prevented, recognized, and taken seriously.

Tomorrow, we’re talking about what we can actually do about it.

Save this post. Share it with a student. And check back for Part Two. ❤️‍🩹
