The Army of Survivors


Listen Later

We are ecstatic for our guest today. We had the opportunity to partner with this organization during our Be a Voice this Holiday Season Campaign last year. Once we started working together and learning the amazing things that the Army of Survivors Foundation had to offer, we knew we wanted to help spread their message. Grace, the founder of the Army of Survivors, joins us today to discuss her own story of trauma, and how anger turned into advocacy. This is true story of commandry that comes from tragedy.
More information on Army of Survivors: Our organization was founded and is run by volunteers, a majority of whom are Sister Survivors of the sexual violence enabled by Michigan State University, USA Gymnastics, and the US Olympic Committee. The pain that they endured in the tragedy that played out nationally and globally motivated them to create this organization and to work to effect cultural change. With that said, this history does not belong solely to our organization and is representative of the stories of more than 505 survivors. We at The Army are continually inspired by the strength of each and every one of those survivors, and their stories motivate us to keep working toward a better world.
