Kick at Darkness

No survivor should ever have to pay for their own healing.

Thankful this is coming into the light after such an age of darkness.

I just want people (especially women) to know that date rape drugs are not some rarity that only come out at frat parties.

Someone can spike your drink even if you’re careful.

And if something seems wrong the next morning, don’t second guess yourself.

We asked a survivor what does healing look or feel like?
Their response:
"Healing looks like I am equal. It feels like I was heard. It feels like my pain made a difference."

Abortion is legal in California.

It will remain that way.

I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.

We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

Letting survivors know they aren’t alone starts with hearing and acting.

Thank you for doing both, @_lennart.

Woken up at 5am by a woman screaming for help in hotel room next door, called security and they just BUSTED that door in, getting her out of there?? at least I’m awake now

[Kick at Darkness @KickDarknessNow]

@_lennart Thank you for watching out for her. You not only heard, you also acted. You showed up when she was most vulnerable & let her know she is not alone.

Thankful to hear she is being cared for & he is in custody.

May more be as courageous as you to be someone else’s lifeline.

[Kick at Darkness @KickDarknessNow]

Heartbreaking. Survivors, you are not alone. We hear you. We believe you.

I remember this so clearly. Most of my youth group gave it to my youth pastor. At that time he had already stolen my innocence. I didn’t give him the teardrop. He asked me why I didn’t & I couldn’t answer. The abuse only got worse from there.

Remember not everyone wants to be found. If someone disappears it may be for good reason. If someone wants to find a person, they may not have good intentions. Bad people try to look good sometimes.

Instead of a random number, call the proper authorities who can intercede.

VOCA funds are crucial for survivors in Arizona.

[Badass BilliJoy @vashtigirl36]

@GOPLeader Don't let VOCA go over the cliff. Pass the #VOCAFix before the end of the year. There is a #Crisis4Victims +1500 victims rights orgs +56 Attorneys General & national orgs have asked for this fix

You spoke out and @hallmarkchannel listened. LGBTQ people deserve to see ourselves represented on all TV networks. Thank you to everyone who raised your voices.
