District Administration Magazine published an article that lifts the issue of sexual violence and #MeToo as it affects young women in schools, and spotlights Alliance for Girls' initiative in Oakland Unified School District as a model for the nation.

Education Votes spoke with Alliance for Girls Executive Director Emma Mayerson as well as members of the Girls Leadership Team to discuss sexual harassment at Oakland public schools and how it affects girls, particularly girls of color. This led to the passing of the District's new sexual harassment policy, which includes designating a point person in each school to handle sexual harassment and assault complaints (as opposed to one person for the entire district).

Heard on All Things Considered/NPR, produced by Youth Radio. Since 2014, sexual assault investigations conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights are up nearly 500 percent in elementary, middle and high schools across the country. Youth Radio's Charlie Stuip attended Oakland Unified School District's school board vote with Andrea Zamora, 17, a rising high school senior who helped develop the new policy with local nonprofit Alliance for Girls and its member organizations.

The blog, Great School Voices, wrote about Alliance for Girls' Valuing Girls' Voices report and its community and student-led work to address the challenges young women face in Oakland schools, starting with the modification of Oakland Unified School District's sexual harassment policy. The new sexual harassment policy is responsive to victims and clarifies the role of the school in identifying the nature and harm of sexual harassment.
