That means that 1/4 of the adults in the United States are survivors. Alone survivors have no voice, yet together we can make our country safer for children. Our first step is to have a National Rally in Washington DC, in hopes of empowering those who were sexually violated as children and bringing national attention to our mission.Vicki Polinnoreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791517910744647491.post-46949452852784684312009-03-05T07:23:00.000-08:002009-06-10T06:34:17.603-07:00<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre;font-family:Arial;font-size:48px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:10px;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wAEkZ4_A_gg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wAEkZ4_A_gg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>I was in hopes of finding others who might share a dream with me.<br /></div><br />Last month marked my twenty-fifth anniversary of advocating for survivors of child sexual abuse. For years I envisioned being a part of national rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse. A rally that brought national attention to the fact that as children we had no civil rights and as adults our needs are often ignored.<br /><br />One person alone has no voice, yet together we make up one forth of the population of the United States (one out of every 4 child have been molested by the time they reach the age of 18).<br /><br />Can you imagine the power we would have if all adult survivors of child sexual abuse of all faiths and backgrounds united and formed a "Survivors Union". A group of survivors doing what it takes to make our country safer for children.<br /><br /><br />If you are interested in helping to make this dream a reality please contact me immediately.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Vicki Polin<br />VickiPolin@gmail.com<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3791517910744647491-4694945285278468431?l=survivorsunion.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vicki Polinnoreply@blogger.com0
