The legal system is overtly re-traumatizing for survivors. Going to court to seek "justice" as a survivor is rarely "just". Show your support of this brave young survivor by sending a note to B.R. at [email protected].

E Jean! You did it! Congratulations! I’m in awe of your grace, tenacity, vulnerability, and courage. And I’m humbled to be part of the coalition of survivors whose activism made the Adult Survivors Act possible. We’ve come full circle from last May, and #MeToo is here to stay.
Thank you @HerstoryK@IHTRT01 for calling out judicial nominee, Michael Delaney, who used DARVO tactics (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender) against survivor @Chessy_Prout. This appointment is an insult to the #MeToo movement and betrays all survivors who supported @JoeBiden
Founded on principles of transparency and accountability, End Rape On Campus is opposed to Michael Delaney’s nomination to the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the First Circuit.
End Rape On Campus urges the Senate Judiciary Committee to vote NO on Delaney's confirmation.
While I'm grateful that my words were taken into thoughtful consideration, I hope the senators will continue through the rest of their careers/lives to not only listen but actively & respectfully seek survivor's stories & consider the experience of all victims & survivors of SA.
Thank you, Lacy for sharing this background. I listened to the hearing today from my desk at work & want to thank @SenJudiciaryGOP & @JudiciaryDems for considering my letter. I have so much to say on the topic of victim intimidation & today's hearing. 1/2
Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary Committee reviews the nomination of Michael Delaney to the US Court of Appeals.
As a defense attorney, Delaney, representing St. Paul's School, filed to force a minor victim of sexual assault to go public.
Yes: to shame the victim. Signed:
Honored to be the first poet EVER on the cover of @voguemagazine , & what a joy to do so while wearing a Black designer, @virgilabloh . This is called the Rise of Amanda Gorman, but it's truly for all of you, both named & unseen, who lift me up 🕊🦋
Love,
Amanda
I had the honor of sitting with @troubleforgood to talk about my story, survivorship, and breaking with the status quo to seek justice!

I still remember when my law prof made me stand up in front of my entire class + turn 360 degrees to show everybody what I was wearing. The intersection bt sexism and racism is very REAL. To understand the systems that perpetuate it, pls read my YA Parachutes. #StopAsianHate

It was such a pleasure to be able to speak with Leo for his podcast, #GenerationChangeWithLF! Please have a listen at https://t.co/QCxALkeTTY or anywhere you get your podcasts!
Happy March! This month, we're happy to share Leo's conversation with extraordinary human @Chessy_Prout, an author, advocate, and high school sexual assault survivor. This episode is available now! https://t.co/cOrShjVH4F #genchangewithlf#socialjustice#ihavetherightto
Years ago, I read @Chessy_Prout's book for the 1st time. She outlines her experience of sexual violence and aftermath. Chessie went on to outline a Bill of Rights, #IHaveTheRightTo.
Tonight, this one stands out to me: #IHaveTheRight to not be shamed and bullied into silence.
Amanda Gorman, the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, became the youngest-ever inaugural poet. As a person with a speech impediment, she's said she can relate to Pres. Biden and his refusal to be silenced by his stutter
The opposite of doomscrolling might be hanging out on Twitter feeling the joy, hope, courage, inspiration, and admiration in all the applause for @TheAmandaGorman and her incandescent inaugural poem "The Hill We Climb".
