Colleges: If you want to know how to make your campus safer, ASK SURVIVORS.

They know what failed them. They know what support was missing. And they often have some of the clearest ideas about what needs to change.

So LISTEN.

Not just after a crisis. Not just during a Title IX investigation. Not just when a campus climate survey comes around.

šŸ’™ Listen when survivors tell you where policies failed them.

šŸ’™ Listen when they tell you why students donā€™t seek help.

šŸ’™ Listen when they describe responses that caused more harm.

šŸ’™ And listen when they tell you what real prevention could look like.

Prevention and response arenā€™t separate jobs. A campus that listens to survivors can learn where harm is happening, what barriers keep students from seeking help, and how to build something safer.

Student survivors deserve more than support after something happens.

They deserve a voice in what happens NEXT.

Football isnā€™t the problem. Alcohol isnā€™t the problem. Partying isnā€™t the problem.

The problem is sexual violenceā€”and the people who choose to perpetrate it.

But itā€™s true that crowded parties, increased drinking, and more social activity can create opportunities that perpetrators exploit.

So before kickoff, make a game plan:

šŸˆ #1: Respect consentā€”EVERY time.

šŸˆ #2: Challenge comments and behaviors that excuse or celebrate sexual violence.

šŸˆ #3: Check in when something doesnā€™t look right.

šŸˆ #4: Know how youā€™ll safely step in or get help if something happens.

Winning on the field is great. But creating a campus where everyone can celebrate safely is much, much bigger.

In our 32 years, we've seen it again and again.

When a story like Cornell's makes headlines, memories surface. Survivors who've carried their experience alone for months, years, even decades, finally reach out. Some are calling for the first time. Some are ready to talk.

Some just need to hear, "I believe you."

Over the past few days, outreach to RAINN's hotline has nearly doubled.

And our hotline staff and volunteers are here for every call, every text, and every chatā€”24/7.

To Jane Doe: Thank you. Speaking out takes extraordinary courage. Your choice to seek justice is opening the door for others to find help, healing, and accountability.

We're here in the moment. And we're fighting for what comes next.

If youā€™ve been affected by sexual assault or abuse, you are not alone.

If you need to talk, cry, vent, rage, ask questions, find resources, or simply be believedā€¦
