About NCC No More Campaign at Nassau Community College

About “NO MORE”

Launched in March 2013 by a coalition of leading advocacy groups, service providers, the U.S. Department of Justice, and major corporations, NO MORE is supported by thousands of individuals, organizations, universities, and communities who are using its signature blue symbol to increase awareness of interpersonal violence, including domestic violence and sexual assault.

NO MORE was created to strengthen the power of the sexual violence prevention movement by using a unifying symbol to build awareness through education and break down the barriers of stigma, silence and shame that keep people from talking about these issues and taking action to prevent them.

Our Mission

In 2013, President Barack Obama signed a historic bill that strengthened the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Included in the bill is the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (or Campus SaVE Act) which seeks to address the violence women face on campus: the highest rates of stalking, the highest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence, and 20-25% of female students experiencing rape or attempted rape.

Nassau Community College has been awarded a Federal grant through the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) to assist with educating the campus community in the areas of interpersonal violence which include:

Sexual Assault
Domestic Violence
Dating Violence
Stalking
Consent
Bystander Education

In compliance with Campus SaVE, VAWA and Title IX mandates, Nassau Community College has launched a campus-wide campaign. The “NCC Says NO MORE” campaign represents a turning point in our College’s handling of sexual misconduct on-campus. NCC, and other universities and colleges across the nation, have joined the movement to raise public awareness and engage bystanders around ending domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking.

At the cornerstone of this exciting campaign is the College’s new interpersonal violence prevention training. This cutting edge, video-based training platform provides vital information on Consent, Bystander Intervention, Sexual Assault, Dating and Domestic Violence, Stalking, and much more.

The NO MORE campaign is the first in a series of awareness-building and educational initiatives planned as part of NCC’s ongoing commitment to providing a healthy and enlightening college experience.
