Applaud Marijke for Speaking Truth to Power

When survivors speak out, it matters — and Marijke Chartouni’s voice deserves to be heard and applauded. After Donald Trump tried to rewrite history with a self-congratulatory message distancing himself from Jeffrey Epstein, Chartouni, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, cut through the noise with clarity and courage.

Her response wasn’t about politics or posturing. It was about truth, accountability, and refusing to let powerful figures minimize or deflect from real harm. Survivors have too often been ignored, doubted, or sidelined — and speaking up against someone as powerful as a former president takes real bravery.
By calling out hypocrisy and standing firm in her truth, Marijke Chartouni reminded the public of what really matters: listening to survivors, honoring their experiences, and rejecting attempts to obscure accountability.

Add your name to applaud Marijke Chartouni and all survivors who speak out with courage, demand honesty, and refuse to let the truth be buried.
