I understand that rape culture is more than just rape. Instead, it is something we can contribute change to everyday with small by impactful efforts. 

​

I understand that the locker room talk we are used to on campus and in everyday conversations is part of this culture. However, I recognize that this is NOT "just a joke", harmless banter, and above all NOT okay.

I pledge to not engage or contribute in behaviors that add to rape culture. 

I pledge not to look the other way when I hear anyone saying something that crosses the line.

I pledge to speak up, speak out, and to rally my friends in alliance against rape culture. 

 

I acknowledge I am a role model and that I have the power to take the first steps towards change. And so I choose not to be a contributer, a facilitator, or a bystander. Change happens now, with me.
