Safe Horizon's Adult Survivors Act Social Media Toolkit

Use this social media toolkit to help let sexual assault survivors know their rights under the Adult Survivors Act.

The Adult Survivors Act (ASA) is legislation that creates a special one-year look-back window to allow individuals who were 18 or older when they were sexually assaulted in New York State to file a lawsuit against the person who harmed them and/or the negligent institution.

We want every survivor to know about this new law. Help us let survivors know their rights by sharing this page and/or the graphics on this page on social media or with your friends. For more information, you can check the official ASA page here and share that as well.

Together we can help survivors find justice.
