​​Survivors Know organizes survivors of power-based violence to inspire, challenge power dynamics that generate and feed injustices and create workplaces where we all thrive. We work directly with survivors to build power with one another, organize their workplaces, and change the norms and structures that perpetuate power-based violence starting with their own spheres of influence.
In service of Survivors’ Liberation, we focus on three core areas-
Systems and Organizational Change, Survivors and Worker Organizing, and Healing Justice.

Advocacy + Leadership

We are survivor-led and set out to organize for transformative culture change in places where we work.

We use the term power-based sexual violence rather than gender-based violence to ensure that we are acknowledging the totality of our experiences as survivors  (i.e. rape, domestic, sexual violence, workplace harassment, intimidation, stalking, coercion, and discrimination).

Director of Athena

“We’re excited to work with Survivors Know as we organize against Amazon. Survivor justice points the way to the democracy and economy we need. Coronavirus, the economic crisis, and the uprising have shown how Amazon continues to bully workers, community businesses, neighbors, and our elected officials. Deep alliances with organizations like Survivors Know, taking on exploitation and violence from related angles, is key — we need each other to win.”

“We’re proud to be a core partner of Survivors Know – true gender and racial justice is unreachable without advancing the leadership and harnessing the power of survivors. The work that we’re doing together pushes against the status quo towards change we can feel and see.”

“This is such an important and vibrant space for survivors! I’m a social worker and a survivor – it’s rare to have my leadership and perspective truly valued. As survivors we know what justice looks like, we know what it can feel like to be unseen or seen as a monolith – I’m excited about the ways we are going to change our culture and really disrupt the notions about how our society honors us.”
