Tell Congress: Protect Our Servicewomen and Servicemen

An estimated 19,000 sexual assaults occurring in the military each year. Of those, only about 300 even make it to trial. This is shamefully out of balance.

Please join Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and EMILY's List to urge Congress to act now to reform our military justice system.

Add your name to the right and speak out for the tens of thousands of victims of sexual assault in our military. These brave servicewomen and men deserve justice and our full support.

2. MESSAGE TO WOMEN: DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY!

You are much more likely to get raped in the military than in civilian life. More than 20% of women in the military get raped ...and who can account for those that don't even report it. Yea men are victims too but not even close to how many women are victims of this horrible crime. It is especially horrible because you trust your fellow soldiers to have your back ...when your back is not what they want.
