JUSTICE. NOW.
We're done waiting. The Palo Alto Unified School District needs to answer to the students it has hurt.
WHO WE ARE
Too many students have stories like ours, whether they were able to report it or not. That's why we will not stop until we have altered the status quo.
Some of us were violently assulted and raped by fellow students. All of us were tormented at either Gunn or Paly by our abusers. None of us were properly protected by the schools which plaster signs on their pillars saying "we care," and build Wellness Centers, a brittle facade to the harsh reality of life in PAUSD. All of us were silenced and belittled by the school district. Consistently, they took the perpetrator's side. Hey, it's the easiest thing to do. However, When your job is to educate and protect students, you don't have the right to take the easy way out. This is an issue of our fundamental right to be safe at school.

PAUSD NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT EXTENSIVE TITLE IX TRAINING FOR ITS EMPLOYEES
Individuals Currently Employed at PAUSD Have Repeatedly and Severely Mishandled Title IX Law.

MISSION
Enough is enough.
We refuse to sit back and watch as other students suffer through the pain and depression that PAUSD's action and lack of action has caused.
"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does"
