CAASE & Chicago Children's Advocacy Center were honored to host Reshona Landfair, author of the new book, Who’s Watching Shorty? Reclaiming Myself from the Shame of R. Kelly’s Abuse. We love how #SAAM brings us together with so many amazing community partners and allies for moments like these!
“'The emails really offered what was a very rare thing in public life: a paper trail showing exactly how men with power talk about the laws designed to hold them accountable,' said Noreen Farrell, executive director of Equal Rights Advocates, a nonprofit women’s rights organization."
"Shared stories can shift thinking about sexual harm from a distant, anonymous statistic into a real person with a human story deserving of attention and justice." #SAAM

"By casting doubt over all those who report sexual violence in his private but influential circles, Mr. Epstein and his allies robbed his victims of their most powerful defensive weapon — the credibility of their testimony."

"We know, for example, that schools have the potential to be a powerful tool to prevent sexual violence. Schools do not just transmit knowledge; they shape norms. Norms shape whether abuse is tolerated or challenged." 👏👏👏

(2/2) With technology advancing as quickly as it is, there's no time to wait. Take 30 seconds now to tell Congress to pass the DEFIANCE Act here: s-v-p-a.org/defiance/
Currently, there are NO federal laws that allow victims to hold perpetrators of deepfake pornography accountable. We need the DEFIANCE Act passed ASAP! Existing legislation leaves huge gaps for deepfake creation, civil liability, and non-public distribution. (1/2)
We stand in solidarity with Dolores Huerta, Esmeralda Lopez, Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, and all survivors.
As we all process this news, we would like to offer our healing zine as a tool of support and strength for you and others. Explore at the link in bio.
