SURVIVORS ARE ORGANIZING
HOW IT WORKS
OUR VOTE COUNTS
We are people who care about ending sexual violence and we are ready to harness our collective strength and power. By mobilizing against sexual violence, we can help protect, uplift, and contribute to the healing of our communities.
Our voices will be heard, our stories will not be ignored, and our votes will be counted. Being registered is the first critical step to making your voice heard this election.
Make sure you’re registered to vote.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS WHAT SURVIVORS HAVE TO OFFER.
And yet, survivors are rarely recognized as experts or leaders in building safer communities and stronger families, or as an organized force that decision-makers must answer to. In October 2017, the world shifted when millions raised their hands and said, “me too.” Nearly a decade later, we are still feeling the ripple effects of that moment.
Survivor Justice Network is organizing survivors as a force for structural change. To build the world we want, need, and deserve, we all must play our part. Sign The Pledge to support survivors and help end gender-based violence.
THE #SURVIVORSAGENDA PLEDGE
I pledge to:
- Amplify the voices of survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, ensuring that their experiences and perspectives are at the forefront of decision-making processes.
- Demand a clear commitment to addressing the issues that affect survivors of SGBV.
- Advocate for survivors at every point and ensure they have access to the resources needed for healing and thriving.
- Uplift survivors, and work towards creating a society where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.
TOOLKIT & RESOURCES
Voter Registration Guide
A voter registration guide for survivor justice advocates and educators to register to vote and register survivors to vote. If you work at an organization that helps people who have experienced sexual violence, download this toolkit for guidance and help ensure that survivors’ voices will be heard and their votes will be counted this election year.
ACP Resource by State
Address Confidentiality Programs (ACP) are state programs that empower survivors to vote by giving them a substitute address to use on all public records. Ensuring a survivor’s voting plan is essential to a comprehensive safety plan. Before you speak with survivors about voting, gather information about your state’s Address Confidentiality Program so that you can assist with ACP voter registration.
