Today, on the 49th anniversary of Title IX, ED announced they will begin the process of issuing a proposed Title IX rule. This would alter DeVos’ Title IX rule that continues to harm survivors.

It’s an exciting step, but we have a long road ahead of us:🧵

ED announced they won’t be releasing the proposed rule until May 2022––and then it will go through the same notice and comment period that DeVos’ rule went through.

This means on ED's current timeline we might not have a new rule for years. But survivors can't wait that long.

We know that the most effective way to make change for survivors is through organizing. So here are 2 ways to plug in to organizing.

1) We aren't backing down and are going to continue to demand #EDActNow, not in May. Sign up to join us: actionnetwork.org/forms/student-…

2) We also have to demand better from schools. That's why we're launching a 6 week long training series for students looking to organize against sexual violence.

You'll leave the intensives with a concrete organizing plan for your school year. Sign up:actionnetwork.org/forms/applicat…

Not only will you learn how to organize for change on your campus, but you will also have the opportunity for continued technical assistance throughout the school year! Apply today: actionnetwork.org/forms/applicat…

We’ve been organizing for over a decade, and we’re not stopping now. But we’re in for a tough fight. And frankly, it costs a lot to put on a six week training at no cost to the attendees.
Can you pitch in today to help us train a new cohort of organizers? knowyourix.org/give

We are so close to victory. And that’s thanks to you and the support you’ve given this movement. Whether you’ve attended our trainings, sent our applications to friends, or donated what you can, we can tell you sincerely that every single young person we’ve trained is grateful.
