Our Impact at a Glance
Received a 2022 National Crime Victims’ Service Award from the U.S. Department of Justice for our “leadership, innovation, & vision that lead to noteworthy changes in public policy”
“Those closest to the pain should be closest to the power… I have been inspired by Every Voice’s advocacy, their passion, and their commitment to organizing.”

Passed EIGHT student & survivor-written bills into law (MA, NH, CT, NV, IL, ME, HI & OR) in 3 years which impact over 2 million students
