Powerful reflections from @PenelopeHutchis and @JulieGlaser3 about their advocacy experiences at Queen’s in the year 1989 — words that are, sadly, still entirely relevant to activist efforts today…

We can’t wait for you to read their full story!

In response to the sexual violence committed against members of our Western community last Friday, we will be staging a walkout to stand with survivors and demand change.

When you walk out tomorrow, know that you have an army behind you.

[Writing Activism @WritingActivism]

We are deeply saddened and disgusted by the events reported at Western University earlier this week. No one deserves to feel unsafe on their campus, to listen as administrators and media their experiences, or to feel like they need to fight to have their voices heard.

[Writing Activism @WritingActivism]

The overwhelming message: you are not alone. You will get through this. Change is possible.

[Chantelle Spicer @ChantelleSpice1]

So excited to hear all the stories from fellow student activists and survivors. I know for a fact these are difficult stories, but they are stories that deserve to be heard! #MeTooAcademia #PitMad #SilenceIsViolence

A future without sexualized violence is possible. "Do not give in to sanctimonious or patronizing proclamations that your ideas of justice are unrealistic, utopian, or impossible. Remember that the world has not always been this way.” #PitMad #A #NF #OWN

[Writing Activism @WritingActivism]

Dear reader: thank you for picking up this book, for reading the stories that so many have tried to keep silent. Stories about collective action, community care, and the fight against sexualized violence on Canadian campuses. There is no more time for silence. #PitMad #A #NF #OWN

[Writing Activism @WritingActivism]

@AJHumphreys2 Thanks AJ! We’re pretty excited about it!😊

[Writing Activism @WritingActivism]

Who said only kids’ books could have pictures? Addy’s been working on illustrating some of our contributors’ stories, turning their photos into these cute little line drawing✨

We’re definitely team picture books for adults — how about you?
