Engaging all people in a movement to change the social & political systems that perpetuate violence. We do this through education, advocacy, & quality services.

@mecasa_maine The bottom line: Believe survivors. Reject excuses. Demand accountability. Keep pushing for better.

Platner ended his campaign after a sexual assault allegation, but his response follows a dangerous pattern. By pointing fingers at the media & political establishment — & citing PTSD— Platner centered his own grievances, choosing deflection & anger over accountability.

We must also leave room for change. As @mecasa_maine noted, “Accountability requires acknowledging the harm, listening without defensiveness, accepting consequences, changing behavior, & understanding that rebuilding trust takes time &may never happen.”

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, commemorated by wearing orange – the color hunters wear for safety. It originated on June 2, 2015, which would’ve been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday if her life hadn’t been cut short by gun violence. 🧵 1/
