On The Horizon: 2026 & Beyond
Since 2018, S.A.A.V.E. ME served as a powerful survivor-led movement dedicated to creating safe spaces, amplifying survivor voices, and driving awareness around gender-based violence.
While S.A..A.V.E. ME has officially retired, its mission and spirit live on by evolving into new, more transformative initiatives designed for a wider impact. S.A.A.V.E. ME was the seed. What’s coming next is the harvest.

A Note From Leah
S.A.A.V.E. ME laid the foundation. It taught me how vital survivor leadership truly is in advocacy, in organizations, and in culture.
These new initiatives are a continuation of that mission: bigger, bolder, and built for long-term impact. They represent a new season of survivor empowerment, leadership development, and culturally responsive transformation.
The heart remains the same healing, equity, community, and liberation for survivors of color.
