#Speak4RAINN15


Hello fellow YA readers. It's been crazy busy lately, and I totally missed out on promoting about a Twitter chat that happened yesterday with Laurie Halse Anderson. Though I missed talking about yesterday's chat, you can still follow #Speak4RAINN15 to check out what Laurie chatted about. 

#Speak4RAINN15 is a joint effort both author Laurie Halse Anderson and the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) to raise $30,000 to honor the 15th anniversary of Laurie's book SPEAK & Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month. Together, we're working to help survivors of sexual assault — like Melinda from SPEAK — find their voices. Macmillan is matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000 and so just $15 helps fund and connect three survivors of sexual violence with the help they deserve. 

You can visit rainn.org/speak to learn more about the campaign and how you can help survivors find their voices. If you're unable to join the chat but are interested in helping, then every tweet, post, or tumble using #Speak4RAINN15 and leading to RAINN's website helps raise awareness and is greatly appreciated.

For over 15 years, Melinda's story has given thousands of survivors the courage to come forward. Please join us, Laurie, and RAINN in showing other survivors that recovery is possible

Please be sure to check out the links listed to find out more. Help spread the word via #Speak4RAINN15
