Who We Are
HMS is a bold, consent-forward organization building education, media, and tech that make boundaries and accountability usable in real life — across campuses, institutions, and culture. We are not here to hang posters. We are here to rewrite the code.
Despite decades of awareness efforts, consent education remains fragmented, reactive, and culturally disconnected from everyday life. HMS exists to close that gap — building scalable, prevention-focused systems that actually work. Consent becomes common when it's embedded, not explained.
Then
Awareness campaigns. Posters. One-time trainings. Check-the-box compliance.
Now
Infrastructure. Frameworks. Systems that live inside institutions, platforms, and communities.
The result
When New Jersey required affirmative consent in 1992 — lowest rape rate in the nation, less than half the national average. Good code scales.
State in Interest of M.T.S., 129 N.J. 422 (1992); FBI Uniform Crime Reports.
What we believe
Regulated nervous systems regulate other nervous systems. Protection is a shared asset, not a scarce resource. When one person understands consent, everyone around them benefits.
That's why HMS operationalizes consent as something that must be clear, mutual, and verifiable — and builds the infrastructure to make that the default, not the exception.
con·sent
/kən-ˈsent/
From Latin consentire: con (together) + sentire (to feel)
A shared sensation — two people choosing to feel together, with the same understanding and the same conditions. HMS operationalizes consent as something that must be clear, mutual, and verifiable.
The mission
2026–2027
Foundation & Proof
Build the revenue engine and evidence base. University pilots, training contracts, and cultural visibility through products and media.
2028–2030
Validation
Pilot state legislative partnerships. New Jersey has required affirmative consent since 1992, with the lowest rape rate in the nation, less than half the national average. Colorado followed in 2022 with unanimous bipartisan support. Good code scales.

2031–2036
Scale
All 50 states. Proactive consent recognition in every criminal code. When we change "Did she resist?" to "Did she agree?", the violence drops.
Change at this scale takes funding. Help us get there.

The Framework
Code 01
What are you carrying that was never yours to begin with? Old scripts, inherited shame, someone else's definition of what you owe. Delete them.
Code 02
Your operating system was written by someone else. It's time to rewrite it — with clarity, mutual enthusiasm, and the language of people who actually want to be there.
Code 03
This isn't a one-time read. It's a framework you carry — into every room, every relationship, every institution you touch. Consent becomes infrastructure when you save it.
Our Methodology
"Consent isn't paperwork. It is a shared sensation — a moment in which two human beings have agreed to exist in the same reality, with the same enthusiasm."
In Consent Codes, Stef Hammett exposes the hidden operating system shaping how power, desire, and dignity actually work — in bedrooms, boardrooms, and courtrooms. It is the framework behind everything we build at HMS.
Your consent code is as unique as your fingerprint. Personal. Contextual. Yours.
We'd love to stay connected if it feels right.

If the mission resonates, let's start the conversation. Every connection moves this forward.
