What’s the lesson when society tells survivors that coming forward is the best way to fight sexual assault and then tries to silence them?

What’s the lesson when a survivor can only get attention by releasing the most horrific details of her trauma for all the world to see and dissect in infinite detail?

What’s the lesson when a survivor has to turn to civil court because the criminal justice system failed her?

What’s the lesson when, time and time again, men get away with it?

Jane Doe reported the 7 men who r***d her at Cornell (and 57 men on a group snap chat offering her to others) — and never got the justice she deserved. She spoke up. She did “the right thing.” She pursued every right avenue. And still they tried to silence her.

It shouldn’t take a case this horrific to reignite the conversation on campus safety — but our society too often only listens when the story is this bad. Now it’s on us. Let her fight be fuel. Let it push institutions to build safer environments. Let her story finally have the justice and impact it deserves.

These powerful stories of abuse are important in keeping institutions and abusers accountable. It takes immense bravery to stand up and tell your story of trauma, to lay bare the worst thing to happen to you in hopes to pursue change and justice. Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's report is a necessary and powerful step towards just that.

Today, my office released a comprehensive report detailing the findings of our investigation into child sexual abuse in the Catholic Dioceses of Fall River, Springfield and Worcester. To view the full report, visit mass.gov/ago/2026diocesereport

It is my profound hope that this report honors the courage and stories of survivors, and serves as a renewed catalyst for Massachusetts to finally do all that is necessary to ensure the safety of our children.

The Crime Victims Fund ( ) is the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Yet today, the CVF is dangerously low, putting critical, lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk.

Communities are already feeling the impact. Access to trauma-informed services provided by r**e crisis centers, domestic violence organizations, child advocacy centers, homicide bereavement programs, and more, are at risk without a long-term funding solution.

The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act offers a bipartisan, commonsense solution to stabilize the CVF using non-taxpayer dollars, ensuring continuity of services and supporting survivors as they heal and rebuild their lives.

We encourage members of the US Senate to support the passage of the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act.

We attended, presented and exhibited at NCVC’s National Training Institute in Chicago this year, and we already miss it.

This conference is such a great learning experience and a chance to share the wealth of resources available to survivors, build connections and showcase our work to hundreds of others.

Our own panel, Survivor to Survivor with Jessica Mann and Survivors Say board member Amanda Munger, was a powerful discussion on the trauma and healing that comes from being a survivor of SA. These powerful women brought a room full of advocates to tears (us included), and we couldn’t be more grateful for their courage in telling their stories.

Until next year … see you in Seattle!
