“No More” is a signature program of Soroptimist that aims to raise public awareness and engagement around ending domestic violence and sexual assault.

Launched in March 2013 by a coalition of leading advocacy groups, service providers, the U.S. Department of Justice, and major corporations, “No More” is supported by hundreds of national and local groups and by thousands of individuals, organizations, universities and communities that are using its signature blue symbol to increase visibility for domestic violence and sexual assault.

Membership in Soroptimist International of Clear Lake is open to anyone with the desire to help women and girls locally, nationally and internationally.
