ABOUT US
There’s no question: sexual assault is a pervasive problem in the military. Service Members are more likely to be raped or assaulted by a colleague in uniform than they are to be shot at by an enemy.
We are launching a campaign to stop the rampant epidemic of military sexual assault and domestic violence, and curb military abuse of power.
OUR CAMPAIGN DEMANDS
- Those who willfully failed to ensure proper investigations into sexual and domestic violence, thereby insulating offenders and punishing victims and their advocates, should resign. Specifically, we are calling for the resignations of: FORSCOM Commanding General Michael X. Garrett and Chief of Staff of the Army, General James C. McConville
- Open a Congressional investigation into Fort Bragg, US Army Forces Command, Army Reserve Command, US Army Africa (also known as the Southern European Task Force), and the National Guard Bureau.
- Pass legislation that would overhaul how sexual harassment/assault and domestic abuse cases are reported and investigated.
- Pass legislation that would enable service members and veterans who are injured due to sexual or domestic abuse to sue the federal government for accountability.
- The DoD should create a policy to bar the employment of anyone who has been credibly accused of domestic violence, child abuse, or sexual assault crimes. Currently, if a person is accused of these crimes, military leaders can simply sweep them under the rug, enabling the person to work elsewhere at the DoD.
- Charge and prosecute people with obstruction of justice for interfering with the reporting of sexual and domestic abuse. The laws to do so are in place, but they are being disregarded at the highest levels.
- Pass legislation that improves transparency in investigations of sexual misconduct. Currently, the military investigates itself, and when asked for those inquiries, they redact nearly the entire document. This allows them to cover up their misconduct, leaving service members and families with little recourse.
