Not In My Marine Corps is a group of active, retired, veteran, and civilian members dedicated to ending sexual harassment and assault in the Armed Forces.
Today, I signed an Executive Order strengthening how our military handles sexual assault and serious offenses.
Ending gender-based violence has been a priority for me throughout my career.
This represents a turning point for survivors of gender-based violence in the military.
ALT President Biden, joined by United States Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen H. Hicks, signs an Executive Order in the Oval Office.
President Biden is set to sign an executive order that will overhaul the Uniform Code of Military Justice, stripping commanders of their authority over cases of sexual assault, rape and murder to ensure prosecutions are independent of the chain of command. nyti.ms/3rG4ySC
The number of men and vet bros on #miltwitter who are proving they still don’t understand the concept of consent, SA, and SH. Not surprising, yet still🥴

Proud to have been a voice for the integration of women into @USMC basic training. Today 4th BN was deactivated. It is the beginning of a new and more equitable USMC. We are proud of have had any part in making this day possible while also celebrating our history as women Marines
In FY22, the military received 8,942 reports of sexual assault. This is a 1% increase since FY21. However, in a survey conducted by the DOD, 35,875 service members indicated experiencing unwanted sexual contact in the past year. Only 25% of these incidents were actually reported.
Jordan Neely was murdered.
But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines no charges.
It’s disgusting.
A 30-year-old man died on the subway on Monday after he was placed in a chokehold, the police said. Witnesses said the victim had been acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward passengers on the train when the other man, 24, moved to restrain him. nyti.ms/3nnP0RL
Saddened to hear of LtGen Stewart’s passing. I served with him on many occasions and he was a truly wonderful person, humble man, and had a great sense of humor. It was always a good work day when General Stewart was around. Fair winds Sir. -Erin

Yesterday, I received disturbing reports about sexual assault at NAS Pensacola & retaliation against the women aviators speaking out against their attackers. Today, I questioned Secretary Del Toro, Admiral Gilday & General Berger on the unacceptable response from the Navy & USMC
“It’s clear that we at least have a subculture of racism and antisemitism within the military, and that there are people who are willing to act out by sharing classified information or making terroristic threats against those minorities or Jewish people.” trib.al/EWiySBT
A “less confrontational approach” is laughable and frankly a disservice to all service members to say nonsense like this. Service members are quite literally afraid for their lives if they report their assault. Say the real reasons out loud. #metoomilitary#SA
