With the news surrounding the Cornell (Fifty) Seven, the message from survivors today feels more urgent than ever.
At the Trump-Epstein Bookmobile in New York City, the incredibly courageous Epstein survivors took the mic alongside Robert De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell, Rosanna Arquette, Katie Phang, Norm Eisen, and others to demand what they’ve been denied for decades: the full truth and real accountability.
But the message went beyond Epstein. Survivors drew a direct line from the failures that allowed Epstein to operate for years to what’s happening at Cornell University today.
Then to close out the event, Miles had a message for the men who say they stand with women.
It starts with what we do in November.
A huge thank you to DEFIANCE members, who helped fund the Trump-Epstein Bookmobile and keep it on the road. To support the Bookmobile, please donate here.
