about us
We are survivors.
We are a survivor-led national movement created to bring survivors of sexual violence and harassment advocates, organizations, and allies together in visible, trauma-informed action.
Our mission is to create space for all people impacted by sexual violence and harassment, including; women, men, LGBTQ+ survivors, nonbinary survivors, and anyone who has been harmed, silenced, or affected to be seen, to be supported, to be believed, and heard.
Through national and local events, community connection, resource sharing, storytelling, and advocacy, we work to break the isolation that so often follows sexual violence and help people find pathways toward healing, support, and solidarity.
We are organizers.
We are building a national day of action where survivors, advocates, organizations, and allies all across the country can gather in their own communities this fall.
On September 26, 2026, we will stand together under one large message: survivors deserve safety, support, to be believed, and to be heard. Join us as we build a safer and more connected future for all survivors.
We are many.
We believe no survivor should have to carry their trauma alone, and no community should ignore how many people have been harmed. Together, we stand to show that survivors are not isolated stories. We are many, we are present, and we deserve safety, dignity, and change.
Whether you are a survivor, loved one, advocate, organization, or ally, there is a place for you in this movement.

CO-FOUNDER
Anne Marie Hauben is a Co-Founder of Survivors' Solidarity March and creator of Amplified Voice Healing. A survivor of sexual violence, she broke her silence after 33 years when her perpetrator ran for public office, and has since channeled that experience into advocacy focused on challenging victim-blaming, dismantling rape myths, and protecting survivor voices. She is a passionate advocate for The Speak Your Truth Act — legislation designed to shield survivors from retaliatory defamation lawsuits — having testified in Connecticut where it was signed into law in June 2025 and twice at the Massachusetts State House. Anne Marie engages directly with lawmakers, legal professionals, and fellow survivors to build support for systemic change, determined to ensure that victims are believed, supported, and legally protected when they speak out. n text goes here

CO-FOUNDER
Dana DiFilippo is a Co-Founder of Survivors' Solidarity March. She is a survivor, mother, poet, activist, and advocate. Dana spent 19 years in the dark before she knew more existed. She comes to this work from a deeply personal perspective. Over time, she became more outspoken and began sharing parts of her story publicly, because silence had almost taken it all. Survivors’ Solidarity March was born from that belief: that survivors deserve visibility, connection, information, and a public response that reflects the size of what we have carried.

TEAM MEMBER
Susanna Apgar brings over two decades of nonprofit leadership in development, programming, and community engagement, along with degrees in critical race and gender theory from Smith College and NYU. Her commitment to justice and equity is both academic and lived. She is a survivor of a D.A.R.V.O. lawsuit — "Defend, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender" — a tactic increasingly used by abusers to weaponize the court system against survivors who speak out. Susanna carries that knowledge firsthand, and rather than being silenced by it, she has channeled her experience into fierce advocacy — testifying in the Massachusettes statehouse in support of the Speak Your Truth Act, and working to ensure that survivors facing D.A.R.V.O. suits find the visibility and support she herself could not. Susanna looks forward to helping make the world that much safer for survivors of all backgrounds and identities.
