I'm just going to be very blunt - this is horrible for those of us on the frontlines who paid the price over and over. Read this.
What if we hadn't had Dt. Munford and @AngiePovilaitis .
These women are absolute heroes. Read what they had to do for us.

And so are the 9 women and girls who allowed their cases to be charged and went through the hell of testifying. Remember them. Because of these women and girls and the only detective and prosecutor who fought for us, we got where we are today.
Remember the over 100 survivors who called the MSU PD to file reports, and the dozen or so who showed up over and over to MSU Board meetings and press interviews for two years.
Remember there are nine of us still acting as court appointed fiduciaries in the bankruptcy process.

These women and girls carried and birthed babies during this process, raised children, tried to finish high-school, started college, got married, gave up normal life to fight and fight and fight for what was right.
Many of us didn't have the choice to step back for our own health, or to disengage. And the work still is being done despite exhaustion and pain.
When you watch the courageous and powerful testimonies in the Senate today, don't forget these other survivors.

And don't forget the one detective and prosecutor who did the right thing.
Without these women and girls doing everything they've done for five years, there would be no today.
See what it took. Ask what we have to do, to change it for the next generation.

It shouldn't have to take Olympians and hundreds of powerful women, to get justice. But it did.
And we need to change that.
And we need to change that.
