Demand IX
Celebrating 50 years of title IX
PCA has partnered with the Title IX Anniversary Coalition, a group composed of the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, National Women’s Law Center, Women’s Sports Foundation, and other key youth and community leaders, to add our voice to the efforts of Demand IX, to increase the pace of change toward equity and fairness for all.
At the heart of this campaign is the Demand IX pledge, something we hope you will all take the time to sign and share. By signing the pledge, you are demanding to fight until the full promise of Title IX is real. Your signature means that you value fairness and equity for everyone, that you will work to demand that our civil rights are protected and that you demand all students be protected under Title IX.
