RapeKitWA

Washington State has thousands of untested rape kits. Join us in getting them testing and in reforming the system. #rapekitwa

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's counsel has issued the following statement:

[Dr. Richard Selden @drrichardselden]

We can dramatically reduce the incidence of rape: test all rape kits within 24 hours of collection and DNA test all arrestees. Rapists are recidivists--a small number of criminals are destroying a large number of lives. #BelieveSurvivors @TheJHF #metoo

The system slowly but surely cranks back to life. Due in large part to a lot of unglamorous work done by every day people. #everydayheros @tinaorwall @AGOWA

[Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA]

“My Sexual Assault Kit Initiative will lead to more rapists being brought to account for their crimes – and more sexual assault survivors finding the justice they deserve. Thanks to @tinaorwall and @RDembowski for working to reduce the backlog." –BF https://t.co/qg32I7vMO8
