Creating social change to end sexual violence.

Lydia served on the WCASA Board of Directors since 2021. She was an attorney for the Oneida Nation and worked closely with survivors at some of our member programs. She was an advocate for change, tirelessly championing for those on the margins with unwavering dedication. As we share stories of Lydia, we connect in our collective experiences of how she approached her work: with utmost care and profound kindness. We will continue to honor Lydia, her work, and the many lives she touched.

WCASA believes that all people deserve to have authority over their own bodies, whether it is the choice to participate in sexual activity, to use birth control, or to terminate a pregnancy.

American Indians Against Abuse (AIAA), Black and Brown Womyn Power Coalition (BBWPC), End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin (End Abuse), and the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA) announce the launch of the Long Range Plan to address sexual and domestic violence.

The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA) is a hybrid organization: functioning both to
support member Sexual Assault Service Providers (SASPs), while advancing the sexual assault movement in
the state and nationally. We developed this Public Policy Agenda consistent with our vision, mission, and
foundation. However, this is a living document. We encourage legislators, survivors, SASPs, and others to
contact us with other public policy ideas throughout the 2023-2024 legislative session in Wisconsin.

Thanks to the #MeToo campaign, America is experiencing a watershed moment.

A reckoning has begun, led by survivors and women of color, that calls on all of us to name sexual violence and harassment as unacceptable and intolerable. Now more than ever, the movement needs your help! Join us in shifting the paradigm to support survivors, dismantle oppression, and champion prevention. This is how we end sexual violence.

WCASA is in solidarity with local organizers in the Milwaukee community in advocating for the release of Chrystul Kizer.

Chrystul is a sex trafficking victim who has experienced and is living with the impacts of trauma. We ask you join us in the actions to support Chrystul provided by the #FreeChrystul Defense Committee.
