A resource for survivors, supporters, and advocates

March 17, 2022

The website StandupSpeakup.org has a number of helpful resources for survivors. It has been recently updated.

~How to research an abuser

~What to say to a victim

~Why does it take decades to report

~Major review of Church Bankruptcy and Compensation Plans, Pros and Cons

~Why is the Church releasing names of 'credible' predators? Answer: they were compelled to do so by survivors!

~The Survivors Movement Emerges, advocacy for the Movement to act like a Movement

Resources:

~Barbara Blaine's Survivors' Wisdom

~List and links to 160 survivor organizations as part of the Survivors Movement

~Several articles on the economic harm inflicted on victims

~Richard Sipe on 'Unspeakable Harm'

~FBI and State AG references for reporting

~Comprehensive lists of fact sheets

~Hotlines and Help

I also have a page of My Story, with resources and links. I also have a Blog page that does not have any recent postings as it has taken a back seat to my book writing.

The website has two major goals, providing resources to survivors to help them on their path of healing. The second major goal is the promotion of the Survivors Movement, as a Movement, to build its connection and collaboration between and among survivor groups. Presently we see two major continents of collaboration, the Keep Kids Safe coalition which SNAP is part of, and the coalition circling around the Me Too Movement organizations. In addition, there are hundreds of organizations operating independently.

Winter Appeal 2023

To our friends,

2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’

At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.

To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.

Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.

Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.

Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!

Warmly,

Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.

Interim Executive Director
