Take the Pledge: Start with "I Believe You"

At Breaking Silence, we know that violence thrives in silence—and healing begins with being heard. By pledging to start with “I believe you,” you’re taking a powerful step toward ending that silence and creating a world where all survivors feel seen, supported, and safe.

I pledge to:

  • Start by believing survivors when they share their stories.

  • Use my voice to speak up when I see or hear harm.

  • Create spaces—at home, work, school, and in the stands—where silence is no longer tolerated.

  • Listen with empathy, not judgment.

  • Be a consistent source of kindness and support in my community.
