Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein have come together for a public service announcement video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker. Its a call to action, one of the women, Danielle Bensky, told NBC News on Sunday. While we are Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.
The PSA, produced by World Without Exploitation, directs the public to a link to send automated letters of support to their congressional leaders. It comes ahead of Tuesday's highly anticipated House vote on releasing those files.
Many people scroll and they see our stories, and they want to find a way to advocate, and theyre not really sure how, Bensky said. We really want to tell people that you can get out there and you can do this for yourself and be a part of whats starting to really feel like a movement, in a way.
The video features several women holding photos of their younger selves at the ages they met Epstein, the prominent late financier who lived in wealthy and politically connected circles.

(48,655 posts)powerful people who did this. They are colluding with Trumps and Bondi's JUST US department to keep the information hidden and protect the rapists. It doesn't get any more political than that.

(16,845 posts)How dare I ask anything of them, right???!!! I mean, look, they've been through a hell that most of us couldn't even imagine and they continue to be put through another hell every day. But I've seen them when they are speaking publicly being very careful about what they say, etc. I understand that.
But it seems to me that they should start to be more precise now that these emails have been released.
Again, what in the hell do I know, and maybe it's just wishful thinking. But Trump is using the fact that Virginia Giuffre said he wasn't guilty as a talking point for the whole situation. MTG very skillfully used this in her interview with Dana Bash.
He's very obviously involved and that needs to come to light as to how much, etc.
