USA NETWORK STARS SUPPORT NO MORE CAMPAIGN TO END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT IN UPCOMING "LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT" MARATHON ON AUGUST 30

Aaron Tveit, Gina Torres, John Cena, Mark Feuerstein, Patrick J. Adams, Rami Malek, Sarah Rafferty and Daniel Sunjata Featured During 11 Episode "NO MORE Excuses" Marathon on Sunday, August 30, Starting at 12PM/11c

On Sunday, August 30th, USA will air a special 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' "NO MORE Excuses" marathon featuring stars of the Network's original hit series lending their support for the effort to end domestic violence and sexual assault. The marathon, in partnership with Mariska Hargitay's Joyful Heart Foundation and the NO MORE campaign, will include custom wraps and PSAs with important information and resources during each episode from 12pm/11c to 11pm/10c.

USA talent participating in the effort includes SUITS' stars Gina Torres, Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty, GRACELAND stars Aaron Tveit and Daniel Sunjata, ROYAL PAINS star Mark Feuerstein, MR. ROBOT star Rami Malek, and WWE Superstar John Cena. The marathon will also include original wraps with Mariska Hargitay and other current and former SVU cast members such as Raul Esparza, Kelli Giddish, Chris Meloni, Danny Pino, Peter Scanavino and Ice-T. The episodes in the marathon include a plethora of guest stars including: Gloria Reuben, Maria Bello, Peter Gallagher, Jason Beghe, Jesse McCarthy, Kathy Griffin and Sophia Bush.

"It's been a great privilege being a leading partner in NO MORE from the beginning," said Mariska Hargitay, founder of the Joyful Heart Foundation. "Society continues to misplace shame and blame on survivors - both women and men. That has to end. By confronting the myths and excuses we rely on to avoid ending domestic violence and sexual assault, NO MORE fills me with confidence and renewed determination that we will put an end to the violence."

The 11-episode marathon will address various issues including domestic violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse. During each episode, viewers will be encouraged to seek out additional information and resources online, including national hotlines to speak with trained counselors and advocates. Throughout the day, USA, Joyful Heart, and NO MORE also will use social media platforms to encourage conversation and inspire greater action to stop and prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. People can follow and join the dialogue by using #NOMOREexcuses.

NO MORE is a public awareness campaign designed to engage bystanders around ending domestic violence and sexual assault. The NO MORE PSAs, produced by Joyful Heart and directed by Hargitay, highlight the myths and excuses that create misplaced blame on survivors and allow perpetrators to escape accountability. The goal of the PSA campaign is to help normalize the conversation and break the social stigma surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault. By increasing visibility and fostering more dialogue, NO MORE will change social norms, improve public policies, and generate more resources to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. More information is available at www.nomore.org.

USA has been a leading champion of the effort to stop domestic violence and sexual assault, teaming up with Joyful Heart and NO MORE more than a year ago to create the "NO MORE Excuses" SVU marathons. Throughout five marathons held since April 2014, more than 25 million viewers have tuned in and gotten critical information and support. The National Sexual Assault Hotline operated by RAINN, the National Domestic Violence Hotline and other NO MORE coalition partners have seen tremendous increases in calls and website traffic during each marathon. For example, during the April 2014 marathon, the National Sexual Assault Hotline saw a 106% increase in the number of people helped; the National Domestic Violence Hotline had a 21% increase in calls; 1in6.org experienced a 116.2% increase in web traffic and the NO MORE website received a 2,463% surge in traffic. In addition, the hashtags #sayNOMORE, #NOMORE and #NOMOREexcuses trended nationally during the marathon.
