Create Change

CSUSM offers education, prevention, and awareness programming throughout the year and you are encouraged to attend and be involved in the discussion, “It’s On Us” to stop sexual assault. Sign the pledge.

Bystander Intervention

Don’t be a bystander. Step Up and take action when you see risky behavior. If you witness someone trying to lead an intoxicated person into a private room, or if you see someone providing another person with drinks or acting in a sexually aggressive manner, intervene or find help. Likewise, pay attention to your friends so that you can help them if they are being targeted or are in a vulnerable situation. If you feel threatened or too unsafe to intervene, then call 911 or University Police at (760) 750-4567.
