Yesterday's We Are All Jane Doe: Stand Out for Justice brought community members and leaders together with a powerful message: Survivors deserve to be heard, supported, and believed. Accountability matters.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us, including (left to right) Kim Dawkins of Pathways for Change, Senator Robyn Kennedy, David LeBoeuf, State Representative, Paul DePalo Governor’s Councilor and Deborah Hall, CEO of YWCA Central Massachusetts.

Our voices are stronger together. And we are not done speaking up!

YWCA's Girls CHOICE program participants say WE ARE ALL JANE DOE!

"It could be someone you know, it could be someone you don't know, and it happens every day. If you actually want to see change, if you want to be part of it, you have to take up and stand for it. It doesn't matter if you took part in the chant or not. You are here, and that matters."- Girls CHOICE participant.
