Like other forms of sexual violence, Deepfakes are a tool to maintain power and control. They negatively impact mental and physical health, economic wellbeing, job security, reputation, and relationships.

What was done to Taylor Swift, Xochitl Gomez, Meghan Markle, Scarlett Johansson, and many others is a profound violation. The sharing of sexually explicit images—real or fake—without permission is sexual violence. #TaylorSwift #Consent

Savannah Ryan Williams was murdered in Minneapolis on November 29 – the second highly publicized attack on a transgender woman in Minnesota in 2023. Follow @outfrontmn @alivenessmn and @queerspacecollective to support and take a stand against transphobia.

On #TransDayofRemembrance, MNCASA remembers every transgender person taken by anti-trans violence in 2023. From book bans to sports rules to transphobic legislation to hate crimes, the very existence of trans people is being attacked. Take action: rb.gy/t8h4ci

Programs supporting crime victims are the backbone of our Minnesota communities. Through #VOCA, our partner programs provide essential services like crisis intervention, shelter, housing, counseling, and more. Cuts to VOCA harm Minnesota communities. #Crisis4Victims

Cuts to the Victims of Crime Act (#VOCA) means victims lose access to lifesaving services. This is a call to action. @RepAngieCraig & @BettyMcCollum04, we urge you to prioritize victims and support VOCA. #Crisis4Victims tinyurl.com/5e9r3mam

VOCA is a lifeline for victims/survivors in Minnesota. Cuts to #VOCA mean cuts to essential victim services in our communities, with the heaviest impact to small programs, rural communities, and communities of color. #Crisis4Victims

URGENT: The Victims of Crime Act (#VOCA) is facing a critical reduction of 40%. The proposed cut will endanger millions of victims and survivors of violence. @senamyklobuchar and @SenTinaSmith we need your support in the fight for VOCA funding! #Crisis4Victims

Thank you, Megan Thee Stallion, for your courage in telling your story and shining a light on how abusers seek to further harm and control victims/survivors. Read about the sentencing here: rb.gy/2dd04 4/4

Throughout the case, Megan Thee Stallion experienced intense racism, sexism, gas lighting, mockery, and public indifference. She has also shared that she was initially too afraid to speak with police about what happened. #MeganTheeStallion 2/4

Megan Thee Stallion’s case illustrated many unique barriers to justice and safety for Black victims/survivors. After the hip hop star was shot in 2020, she was subjected to public attacks and attempts by her abuser to torture and terrorize her. 1/4

These experiences cannot be separated from her identity as a Black woman and the unique burden of racism and sexism (misogynoir) on Black victims/survivors. #MeganTheeStallion 3/4
