S8E25 Meet the Founder of RAINN: Scott Berkowitz

S8E25 Meet the Founder of RAINN: Scott Berkowitz

'There are people who want to create change, and there are people who don't want to create change.'

This week, we are joined by the incredible Scott Berkowitz for an engaging and timely conversation on sexual violence advocacy. Listen in as Scott and Katie discuss the formative moments of over 30 years of activism, current resources available to survivors, and visions for hope.

Scott Berkowitz is the founder and president of RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. Under his leadership, RAINN has become a transformative national force; the organization has supported more than 5 million survivors and their loved ones since its start in 1994, and helped pass legislation that has taken thousands of rapists off the streets and prevented countless rapes. RAINN is dedicated to stopping sexual violence by supporting survivors, holding perpetrators accountable, and creating safer communities.

Host: Katie Koestner

Editor: Evan Mader

Producers: Catrina Aglubat and Emily Wang
