"`Revolution.' It's a mighty word, and calls
to mind images of overthrows and coups and
citizens storming the barricades. Our revolution
is different.
Yes, the dialogue about sexual assault,
domestic violence and child abuse must be
revolutionized. But we are not asking for a revolt;
we are asking for a revolution--a turn.
We want our communities to turn their at-
tention, compassion, innovation, and resources
towards these issues. To shy away from these
painful topics is natural; to turn towards them is
courageous and crucial--and revolutionary. "The
truth about these epidemics--how pervasive they
are, how and why they are so destructive, as
well as how to heal from them, must become a
priority in the cultural conversation.
We cannot do it alone, and all of us--staff,
board members, survivors--invite you to join the
JOYFUL REVOLUTION. What does that mean?
We're not looking for a revolt. We're looking for
a revolution. We're inviting you to turn towards
these issues.
The turn is simple--and profound. It is a
turn away from this: `This is someone else's
problem.'
And towards this: `I will make this my problem.'
A revolution always begins from within. This
one begins when you decide how you will hold
the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence
and child abuse within you, and how you live
out that decision."
