Spc Guillén was sexually harassed by an NCO (non-commissioned officer), she was vocal about this to her family and afraid to report the harassment. We want to help support survivors of sexual harassment and assault in the military and donate all proceeds of this event in Spc Vanessa Guillén's name.
There needs to be change in how the military handles sexual harassment and assault, we need to stand up for individuals like Spc Guillén and demand change. We want to be able to support survivors, and give them an outlet to come together and know they are not alone.
100% of the donations made at this event will be donated to Protect our Defenders
