IMPACT Chicago instructors participated in sending a letter to the White House Task Force about the importance of including self-defense training in any plan to protect students from sexual assault (http://impactchicago.blogspot.com/2014/03/dear-vice-president-biden.html ) and self-defense instructors across the country gave testimony to the Task Force about research on the value of self-defense (e.g. http://impactchicago.blogspot.com/2014/04/what-is-trauma-sensitive-prevention.html).
