At many levels, the power, control, and agency that an individual has is being denied as they move through this election season. We see our survivor community and uplift the agency of survivors of all types of violence to choose for themselves how and if to engage in this year’s election cycle. Policing each other’s actions and voting preferences can add to the trauma survivors are already experiencing. We believe survivors should have the right to center their own experiences and make informed decisions about what is best and most aligned with their moral conscience and values. This election guide offers insights on how to navigate the election cycle in trauma informed ways to center community care and challenge harm.
