Partner Membership Application

The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA) is the statewide sexual assault coalition, including a membership comprised of organizations and individuals working to end sexual assault in Wisconsin.

In 2016, WCASA members voted to simplify the membership to only include sexual assault service providers (SASPs) as voting members. Unfortunately, this change eliminated the opportunity for other organizations and individuals to access membership. Based on feedback from stakeholders, this was re-evaluated and a new structure was adopted for implementation in 2024.

As we continue to evolve as an organization, we will continue to adapt and change to best meet the needs of all our stakeholders – and ultimately, survivors. We believe these changes allow us to provide better services to all stakeholders, while we continue building a movement. While SASPs are leaders in the sexual assault field, there are many other partners needed in this effort. It is going to take a movement to end sexual violence.

Vision: A socially just world in which all people value equity and healthy sexuality
Mission: To create the social change necessary to end sexual violence

Humility and Accountability: We recognize the impact of white supremacy and white feminism evident in our movement. As this harm continues, we commit to holding ourselves and others accountable.
