“Because, the power of #MeToo isn’t just naming it. Naming it is just the beginning of the journey” -Tarana Burke
Leading up to BWSS 40 Years Later Commemoration with Tarana Burke at the Orpheum Theatre on November 25th, 2019, BWSS asked local activists to share how “Naming it is just the beginning of the journey”…
“Naming it is just the beginning of the journey”…and this truth is so very well known at BWSS. For the past 40 years staff and volunteers on the frontlines at BWSS have walked side by side with literally thousands of women and girls on this journey to speak their truth and seek safety. The unflagging commitment of this organization and everyone associated with it to meet the changing and complex needs of women seeking safety from the violence in their lives, is awe inspiring.”
