Okay we are taking a quick break.

So if I am keeping up...we have covered a number of topics tonight on the #DemDebates and no candidate has tied any of it to sexual violence.

Let me see if I can help them out.

They started with impeachment of the current president for the Ukrainian controversy. I have another reason. #metooVoter

They jumped over to Biden and the questioning of his integrity. #metooVoter

Lot's of talk about jobs, income inequality and the economy. #metooVoter

There was a brief mention of reproductive rights too. #MeTooVoter

There are so many ways that these issues intersect with the epidemic of sexual violence. These candidates are masters of pivoting from the actual question...let's pivot to talk about sexual violence. #askaboutmetoo #MeTooVoter

Annual Holiday reminder for Survivors of sexual violence to be gentle with yourself. It’s a hard time of year for so many who are returning to the places where they were harmed, being around the harm doers, or who are reminded why they no longer are close with family.
Take it easy, have a plan in place for how you will cope with triggers (or avoid if possible). Things like having a friend to call on standby or giving your partner a code to let them know you are not okay could be helpful.
Also...give yourself the permission you need. It could be permission to leave a triggering situation or start new traditions but allow yourself the space you need to feel safe and loved. You’re not alone. 💕

While we are very excited that #MeToo was FINALLY introduced into the presidential debates tonight - thanks to the efforts of our #metooVoter campaign, it is disappointing that @maddow didn’t open up the floor and pass the question to other candidates to respond.
Getting the question into tonight’s debate was our FIRST goal and we did that with the support of #metoovoter survivors and our allies. Thank you!!

But be clear - we are not done.
The presidential candidates, in particular, owe survivors a clear response on where they stand on dealing with sexual violence in this country and we will demand that they do so. #MeTooVoter #Metoomovement #metoo

So my friend @RonanFarrow released his book yesterday! Ronan is the kind of journalist that activist like myself rely on. He is consistent, determined, honest and intellectually curious. Catch and Kill will underscore all of that for readers in page after riveting page!
It’s so masterfully written and goes into the nuances that so many of us wondered about in the uncovering of these monumental stories. His care and compassion for the survivors stories that he was trusted with shows in how diligently he investigated each claim.
After all of the work he has done to carry these stories forward I am also excited for the world to hear *his* story. This guy is pretty amazing. Low key - a genius - but he will pish posh that. :-)

Still processing the powerful discussion we had today in our #MA @ARUSociology session on #DecolonisingtheUniversity. A student shared her experiences of growing up in apartheid South Africa & feeling validated & 'seen' by the reading material. Became emotional as she talked
about how #apartheid affected her secondary & higher education in South Africa. Another shared his experiences of racism & racial abuse at his place of work in London, and how he'd envisioned a different kind of life in the UK when he migrated from Nigeria three years
ago. A third talked about being British in Zimbabwe and how her family had tried to convince her that the 'whites' were there to help the 'black people' and how she learnt to resist the 'civilising' narrative of #empire. A fourth discussed how her godfather rolled his eyes at her

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?
