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. “It’s 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 they’re 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 what’s 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.
