Activism[edit]

Space to Speak[edit]
In 2019, Siegel founded Space to Speak with Alex Hooten, a college classmate. The organization distributes condoms at Colorado State University, works to further the national conversation on consent, and serves as a community for young survivors.[12] In April 2020, Space to Speak along with five other organizations established the Survivor Coalition Project to stand in solidarity with and support survivors of sexual violence.[13] The SCP partnered with FreeFrom and helped raise over $107,000 for survivors experiencing domestic violence during the pandemic.[14]
