Watch "Say Something Chapter 2"

Watch "Say Something Chapter 2"

This video is real. It’s raw. It’s startling. And for some, a reality.

Our vision at Vera House is to create a world free of violence and abuse. What’s it going to take to achieve our vision?  It will take each and every one of us to commit to change. 

It starts right now with all of us.  It is the conversations we have, the questions we ask, our willingness to believe survivors and our willingness to challenge people around us. It won’t be easy, in fact, it will take great courage.

#StandWithVeraHouse and join us to achieve our vision. You can start by participating in our White Ribbon Campaign during the month of March. Purchase a wristband for yourself and get an extra to share. It could be someone's lifeline - our 24-hour crisis & support line number is printed inside the band.

Until the day we achieve our vision, when you’re ready, we are here anytime day or night at (315) 468-3260.

We are eternally grateful to our friends at Solon Quinn Studios who generously use their creativity and the great gift of communication to propel the message of Vera House.

A Message to Andrew Cuomo

“The Friends of Andrew Cuomo” spent over $300,000 to launch an ad campaign designed to paint former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a victim of political attacks because of the sexual harassment claims against him. We cannot allow this gaslighting to continue while the ad revictimizes victims of not only Cuomo’s sexual harassment but ANYONE who has ever experienced abuse. The tactics used by Cuomo and his supporters further represent the barriers that survivors face every day that prevent them from coming forward and getting support. 

 

We at Vera House have asked Andrew Cuomo to take accountability for the harm he has caused on multiple occasions. Instead of admitting to his wrongdoings, he continues to use power and control to suppress and invalidate the truths of the survivors.  Today we released a video, produced by Solon Quinn Studios and supported by Survivors’ Network, that sends a powerful message to survivors, "I believe you."  

 

We are asking you to help us amplify the video so that survivors throughout New York and the rest of the world know that we believe and stand with them. 

 

Here’s how to get involved:  

1. Share our post on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter  

2. Engage with our content on Instagram and TikTok   

3. Share survivor support resources from your organization  

4. Tag @verahouseinc
