SK Worker Solidarity Circles are spaces where survivors come together to build a community of action, support, and mutual aid.
Our community is rooted in the acknowledgment that systems based on patriarchy and oppression must be dismantled and reimagined. We meet survivors of workplace sexual harassment, violence, and discrimination wherever they are in their healing process – first addressing their immediate needs while placing them in the larger context of system failure. We focus on developing key organizing skills like power mapping, building community, public speaking, cultivating relationships with allies, and navigating interpersonal and structural toxicity.

We are survivor-led and set out to organize for transformative culture change in places where we work.
We use the term power-based sexual violence rather than gender-based violence to ensure that we are acknowledging the totality of our experiences as survivors (i.e. rape, domestic, sexual violence, workplace harassment, intimidation, stalking, coercion, and discrimination).
Check out our growing collection of resources and tools which will be updated frequently as our work evolves.

Expressions that help maintain socio-cultural inequities
Director of Athena
“We’re excited to work with Survivors Know as we organize against Amazon. Survivor justice points the way to the democracy and economy we need. Coronavirus, the economic crisis, and the uprising have shown how Amazon continues to bully workers, community businesses, neighbors, and our elected officials. Deep alliances with organizations like Survivors Know, taking on exploitation and violence from related angles, is key — we need each other to win.”
CoFounder & Director of UltraViolet
“We’re proud to be a core partner of Survivors Know – true gender and racial justice is unreachable without advancing the leadership and harnessing the power of survivors. The work that we’re doing together pushes against the status quo towards change we can feel and see.”
Survivors Know Leader, Advisory Board Member
“Since joining Survivors Know, I’ve become more comfortable sharing my experience as a survivor. This was one of the first spaces that truly felt action oriented – like we were all in this together and could end violence against women.”
Survivor Know Leader, Organizer, United for Respect
“I’ve been waiting for something like Survivors Know. Our movement needs us to take power back from those that control it – I’m really proud to be a part of this sisterhood.”
Survivors Know Leader & Social Worker
“This is such an important and vibrant space for survivors! I’m a social worker and a survivor – it’s rare to have my leadership and perspective truly valued. As survivors we know what justice looks like, we know what it can feel like to be unseen or seen as a monolith – I’m excited about the ways we are going to change our culture and really disrupt the notions about how our society honors us.”
CoDirector of Action Center on Race & the Economy
“As a racial justice organization focused on shifting the structures that enable inequities to unchecked – we see the work that Survivors Know advances as critical towards truly shifting our culture and workplaces.”
