Armie Hammer says these allegations are “attention seeking.” Here's a PSA: When a survivor chooses to share their story publicly, it’s often because they know they are not alone. All too often, they know they are not the only victim this person has harmed. Effie, I believe you!
We as survivors don’t share our stories in hopes of fame or fortune. We are not opportunists. We have nothing to gain + everything to lose. And yet, we do it, time and again, because we know that it will help others to come forward, to speak out, to feel safe. Effie, we love you.
In sharing our stories survivors and victims hold our abusers accountable in a way the criminal legal system so often does not. Story sharing looks different for every survivor, but often is a part of their healing process. Effie, we are here for you. #MeToo #StandWithSurvivors
I believe the role of progressive government is to champion those with less power against systems of exploitation that seek to take advantage of their marginalization. That is why I'm introducing the Sex Trade Survivors Justice & Equality Act, with @PamelaHunter128. 1/ 
We must empower and support people currently or formerly in the sex trade, while addressing the violence, exploitation, and trauma inherent in the buying and selling of sex - by continuing to hold pimps, brothel owners, and sex buyers accountable for the harms that they cause. 2/
I have listened to survivors, and have studied the data carefully, and I believe that this bill is the best way to achieve these goals. #JusticeAndEquality #StandWithSurvivors 3/3 equalitymodelny.org/sign-our-state…
When survivors come forward, it is difficult and sensitive, and the way media covers, and we talk about, Demi Moore's experience is important.
Familial trafficking is rampant and sometimes the hardest trafficking to detect. #humantrafficking #csec #ChildTrafficking

At least 41% of people recruited into #trafficking are recruited by their family members according to @UNmigration. Their data shows that the majority age of the children exploited in this way are between 15-17, Demi’s age at the time of her #exploitation.
Familial sex trafficking of minors involves traffickers giving offenders sexual access to victims (in person or via child pornography) in exchange for drugs, money, or something else of value.
We're live-tweeting the #KavanaughHearings. It'll be a tough day for too many of us, so we're asking everyone to take time to care for yourself today. For some guidance, check out our webinar, "Self Esteem, Self Expression, and Self Love for Activists":
Pitiful that @ChuckGrassley opens with saying that *both* Dr. Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh have had a bad couple weeks. One came forward with a painful truth, the other faced a reckoning for multiple allegations of abuse. #KavanaughHearings #BelieveSurivors
Thus begins @ChuckGrassley's cognitive dissonance regarding when, why, and how survivors come forward. We should control our stories and who they're shared with. #BelieveSurvivors #KavanaughHearings
