Know Your IX@knowyourIX

School's back in session, and so are we. But too often, student survivors of sex-based harassment face an impossible choice: if they speak out, their abuser threatens to sue them for defamation. We're here to help, with a new toolkit to empower survivors speaking out.🧵

The two people behind them look on, with their faces partially obscured by the voice amplifier. On the bottom half of the page, bold text that is highlighted in red, text reads "Survivors Speaking Out." Below, in smaller, light pink text, reads "A Toolkit About Defamation Lawsuits and Other Retaliation By and For People Speaking Out About Sex-Based Harassment." Logos for Know Your IX and The National Women's Law Center are in the top right corner of the page.

A few months of reporting, heartbreaking phone calls with sexual assault survivors, discussions with @usedgov, and hundreds of court documents later, K-12 Dive published its analysis today of how schools have passed the buck on Title IX responsibilities. k12dive.com/news/title-ix-in…

Duties Deferred: The price students pay when schools pass the buck on Title IX

Case records document a pattern of schools deferring to law enforcement and other outside agencies — and failing to protect students in sexual assault and harassment cases in the process.

Today, we gathered at the White House to demand immediate action from @POTUS to finalize a new #TitleIX rule. Students cannot endure another four years of the current regs.  “The longer that Biden waits, the higher the risk.” - KYIX organizer @Sulakshi5 usatoday.com/story/news/educ…

Biden promised to reform Title IX. Students are tired of waiting

Students and reform advocates rallied in front of the White House on Tuesday, demanding “immediate action” from Biden to reform Title IX rules.

Attacks on survivors, LGBTQI people, and pregnant & parenting people are getting more vicious. Students are looking to this administration to protect and strengthen Title IX rights. We were outside the @WhiteHouse today calling on @usedgov to issue the final #TitleIX rule ASAP!
