    This #CyntoiaBrown verdict is the epitome of injustice!! This young survivor of sexual violence who was trafficked and murdered a man trying to rape her in self defense has to serve FIFTY ONE years before she is even eligible for parole?
    Where is the justice? A Tennessee court ruled that Cyntoia Brown, a #SexTrafficking survivor, must serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole bit.ly/2Qj8wgz

    “With what degree of certainty do you believe Brett Kavanaugh assaulted you?” “100%” #MeToo

    Today’s decision to overturn the conviction against Bill Cosby is not only triggering for those of us who have experienced sexual violence and its emotional and physical consequences; it is a miscarriage of what little accountability survivors are afforded by our legal system.

    Thank you, Dr. Ford. We believe you.

    What we experienced in the Depp-Heard trial is a case study for how social and political movements get misused and weaponized against the very people it's meant to serve.

    * Decide if you can handle it. There will be first hand accounts of sexual, physical and emotional abuse that may trigger memories or feelings that you would rather not deal with. Don’t feel obligated too. If it feels like too much don’t watch or turn it off when you want to.

    *Know that you are not alone. There will be thousands of us - survivors of all types watching and silently supporting each other. You are not in this by yourself and there will be folks tweeting and talking about it all over social media. Find a positive forum to join. #metooMVMT

    We often talk about women as survivors, but at least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse/assault, in childhood or as adults. If you’re a man watching #LeavingNeverland tonight and you’ve been sexually assaulted, please know that @1in6org is there to offer free support, 24/7

    And yet, the way in which #MeToo has been co-opted and manipulated during the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial is a toxic catastrophe and one of the biggest defamations of the movement we have ever seen.

    * Have a plan for support. Don’t watch alone and try to watch with folks who support your healing and who are affirming in your life. If you have family or friends who victim blame or dismiss your feelings - don’t watch with them.

    #MeToo is the greatest acknowledgment by survivors about the prevalence of sexual violence, ever. Since the hashtag went viral, so much has shifted toward nuanced narratives about survivorhood and the long term, widespread impact of sexual violence.

    Over the last six weeks, we have been confronted with the mockery of assault, shame and blame. Countless headlines proclaiming the death of #MeToo. News stories full of click bait, and the endless ridicule of survivors that followed.

    Larger than this trial and jury decision is a movement made up of millions of survivors fighting for their dignity and their right to seek justice, and a country that still has to reckon with why it is so invested in the pain and anguish of violence, rather than remedying it.
