…this is a movement.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
As the movement to end anti-Black racism builds, we show up at this moment as a multi-racial, survivor-led collective poised to amplify the ways in which the movements to end sexual violence and racial violence are reliant upon one another. Survivors know how to transform systems and create a culture of accountability. As a survivor community at this moment, we are imagining what a world free of violence looks like. Learn more about how we want to co-create that world as a community through the #survivorsagenda.

Visit LinkAs survivors, we are often directed to rely on law enforcement, but unfortunately, we are all too familiar with how this system fails us, especially those of us who are Black survivors.
