School's back in session, and so are we. But too often, student survivors of sex-based harassment face an impossible choice: if they speak out, their abuser threatens to sue them for defamation. We're here to help, with a new toolkit to empower survivors speaking out.🧵

Defamation cases are being used to silence survivors from school age and beyond. 23% of student survivors are threatened with a defamation suit by their abuser. The decision in the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp case will silence survivors, and that was always the goal.

A student was expelled from Washington University because of sexual assault. So his dad started a dark money lobbying group to upend Title IX. The changes would let his son appeal his case to a board of judges where his mom sits. Privilege is WILD.

Perpetrators of violence have long manipulated systems, often ones meant to protect survivors, to continue their abuse. What we saw today wasn’t the first time a court has been an avenue for abuse, and it won’t be the last.

Rest in power, #ToyinSalau. Toyin Salau was a 19-year-old Black woman fighting for the lives of Black people. She was sexually assaulted, publicly talked about her assault, went missing, and then was found dead yesterday. She fought for Black lives and we will fight for her.

A majority of students raped, assaulted, or abused in college will experience significant drops in their grade point average. And survivors are more likely to drop out of school. Schools (& Betsy) should be doing everything in their power to stop sexual violence, not ignore it.
