Join us at a CAASE event
honoring
Anne K. Ream and Brenda Myers-Powell.
At The Voices and Faces Project, we believe that our stories are our most powerful weapon in the fight to create lasting social change. The best storytellers wield that weapon in unexpected and inspiring ways, challenging us to think, feel, and — most importantly — act.
On October 19th, join Public Radio's Glynn Washington — the creator of the groundbreaking radio show and podcast Snap Judgment — as he emcees a CAASE event honoring Dreamcatcher Foundation's Brenda Myers-Powell and The Voices and Faces Project's Anne K. Ream, who is the founding co-chair of World Without Exploitation.
This will be an evening filled with moving stories, exciting performances, and — bonus! — signature cocktails. See you there.

Celebrating Allies: A CAASE event
WHEN:
Thursday, October 19th | 5:30pm - 8:30pm

Every survivor story has power and purpose. During "The Stories We Tell," The Voices and Faces Project's two-day writing workshop, survivors will read and discuss testimonial writing, reflect on how to share their own stories, and engage in a series of innovative writing exercises. With a focus on memoir, fiction, non-fiction and poetry, "The Stories We Tell" was created to support those who seek to use writing as a vehicle for personal or political change. Upcoming writing workshops are scheduled for Chicago, IL, Milwaukee, WI, and Nairobi, Kenya.
Hear Public Radio's Tony Sarabia and workshop co-creator Anne K. Ream discuss "The Stories We Tell."

For those who work daily to end sexual violence and exploitation, its causes and consequences are all too clear. But how can we get the general public to see what we see? "Marketing a Movement," a half-day capacity-building workshop, was created to help advocates and movement leaders do just that. Training on how to use messaging and media to create lasting social change, "Marketing a Movement" is traveling to eight US cities this fall, through our partnership with World Without Exploitation. |

Our work is inspired by one thing: the power of personal stories to create political change. We believe that testimony has the power to change minds, hearts and public policies. And we're always working to bring those stories to the attention of the public. Watch our video, "Silence is the Enemy of Change," to get a stronger sense of the beautiful and brave women at the heart of our work.
