The Speak Your Voice initiative

Your story is a stitch in the blanket of justice.

One founder's story started this: a case opened August 22, 2022 — nearly four years in the system, 621 days of separation and counting, decided in hearings that lasted minutes. His story is unique. So is yours. Woven together, our stories become a protective blanket over the people the system overlooks — survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and parental alienation. The innocent, and the unprotected.

"My story is unique. Your story is unique. All of our stories, connected together, are a blanket of justice — a protective blanket over the justice system itself." ☂

Every story you share — named or anonymous — helps document where the system breaks, trains Athena to spot the patterns, and fills the void between what happened and what the record shows.

Before you begin: Share only what you're ready to share. You can stop anytime. If you or a child are in danger right now, call 911. Support: RAINN 800-656-4673 (24/7) · National DV Hotline 800-799-7233. This form doesn't provide legal advice, and we may be required to act on information about ongoing danger to a child. Please avoid full names of other private individuals — describe roles ("the caseworker," "the other parent") instead.

🎙️ Prefer to speak it? The voice line is in build — soon you'll tell your story by phone and Athena will listen. For now, the written form below carries the same weight.

1What happened to you?Your story, your words. As much or as little as you're ready to tell.

2When did it begin — and how long has it gone on?Dates if you have them; "about two years" is fine too.

3What did the system do — or fail to do?Hearings that were minutes long, hearings that never happened, evidence that was never read, deadlines that slipped.

4What has it cost you?Time with your children, money, health, work, trust — name the price.

5What would justice look like for you?If the system worked, what would have happened?

Want to go deeper? 15 more questions (all optional)

Which county and court type?

Were you represented by a lawyer — always, sometimes, never?

How long was your longest hearing? Your shortest?

Was there ever sworn testimony you know was false?

Was it ever addressed or punished?

Were children involved? How were their voices heard — or not?

What documents exist that tell the truth? (police reports, messages, recordings — don't send them yet, just tell us they exist)

What did the process cost you financially, roughly?

How did it affect your health — physical or mental?

Who helped you most? Who failed you most? (roles, not names)

Did you ever feel the outcome was decided before you spoke?

If you could change ONE rule or practice, what would it be?

Is your situation ongoing or resolved?

Would you speak to a volunteer advocate or law student about your case?

Anything else the record should hold?

Your name — your choice Anonymous. No name, no contact. Your story stands on its own. With my name. I want my story to carry my signature.

How your story may be used Private. Held securely for the record and pattern analysis only — never published. Anonymized. May inform the archive, policy work, and training the engine — with all identifying details removed. Public, with review. May be told publicly (with my name if given) — only after human review and my confirmation.

You can change or revoke this choice at any time. Stories naming private individuals are legally reviewed before any use beyond Private.

What is your story mainly about?

Your stitch is in. 🪡

Thank you for trusting us with it. Every story makes the blanket wider — and the gaps smaller. If you chose follow-up, a human (never a bot) will reach out.
