Is your school interested getting involved?
Find out how!Laurie Halse Anderson's courageous novel Speak tells the powerful story of high school freshman Melinda Sordino and her recovery from sexual assault. Since Speak was published in 1999, Laurie has devoted herself to helping survivors like Melinda to find their voice. This April, Laurie needs your help.
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month, Laurie has joined forces with RAINN to create #Speak4RAINN, a campaign to raise funds and connect survivors with the help they deserve. You can get involved this April by donating $10 to #Speak4RAINN, which will help one survivor through RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline (1.800.656.HOPE). Once you donate, Macmillan, publisher of Speak, will match your contribution dollar-for-dollar.
For over 14 years, Melinda's story has given thousands of survivors the courage to come forward. Please join Laurie today in showing other survivors that recovery is possible.
