me too. International released the first installment of their Love Letter series on February 14th, 2024, with a love letter and video for Black men. The purpose of the Love Letter campaign is to show support to survivors of sexual violence. Through this campaign, me too. International seeks to not only honor but also recognize all survivors of sexual violence.

For Women’s History Month, me too. International dedicated its love letter to Black women and femme survivors. Black women have the second-highest rate of sexual violence in the United States with 1 in 4 Black girls who will be sexually abused before the age of 18.  As many as 50 percent of Black trans women and 65 percent of non-binary femmes have experienced sexual violence in their lifetimes.

me too. International will continue its “Love Letters” campaign throughout the year, highlighting and honoring survivors. These letters serve as a reminder that survivors are not alone; their voices matter, and so does their healing.

Being a survivor transcends economic classes, gender, race, and sexual orientation, impacting every community. These love letters serve as poignant reminders of our interconnectedness.
