Tell the White House and Obama: How Do You Want Them to fight Sexual Assault?

President Obama just announced that he is taking major action against sexual assault by creating a presidential task force to fight rape on college campuses. Right now, 1 in 5 women will be assaulted or raped during college.

We know that searches for solutions to sexual assault and rape can end up blaming the victim instead of holding attackers accountable. To make sure the President's task force avoids that trap, it's critical that they hear what solutions YOU want to see.

Fill out this short survey about what you think the Presidential Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault should do, and we'll deliver your response to the White House next week.
