My name is Chelsea and I am on the Development team at RAINN. I came across your blog because you’ve mentioned RAINN in some of your writing. I wanted to contact you to thank you for your support and commitment to ending sexual assault.

I wanted to share with you an exciting opportunity to help victims of sexual assault. I’m not sure if you’re familiar, but on July 25, there will be a National Day of Blogs. Participants will agree to blog for up to 24 hours to benefit their favorite charity. The objective of the event is to raise both funds and awareness for a cause that is important to you.

f you’re interested, please visit http://www.blogathon.org/ for more information or feel free to email me with questions. If you chose to participate, I will be available to help you secure sponsors.

Thank you so much, Holly, for your support! I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best,

Chelsea

She gives voice to so many women who have been made to feel that theirs is unimportant. I love my soul-sister! She is turning a very painful experience into an opportunity to grow, connect, and make changes.

If it is either a gay woman or a gay man the fear involved in reporting assault is doubled for purely unnecessary reasoning, an anti-gay policy that still exists in the military despite no real evidence showing its need.
