Exposing A Lawsuit Against A Small Nonprofit Over Survivor Testimony | Episode 379
Power doesn’t always shout; sometimes it whispers into phones, nudges gatekeepers, and makes uncomfortable stories disappear. We open the door on a civil defamation lawsuit filed after we aired a trafficking survivor’s testimony, and we walk you through why we won’t pull down evidence-based content. As a small 501(c)(3), we lay out the stakes: the chilling effect on survivor voices, the risk for publishers, and the pressure campaigns that make silence look like the safest option.
We take listeners step by step through the public artifacts at the heart of our stance—screenshots, conference listings, and profiles that challenge public denials of affiliation. Rather than asking for trust, we ask you to audit the same materials and test our reasoning. We also tackle a related issue shaking reader confidence: plagiarism and the murky use of AI in publishing. Clear attribution, citations, and respect for sources aren’t academic niceties; they’re the backbone of credibility. When they’re ignored, audiences lose faith, and honest creators pay the price.
Underneath the legal filings and receipts is a simple principle: free speech includes sharing documented facts and labeling opinions as opinions. Survivors should not be punished for telling their stories, and small nonprofits shouldn’t be bullied into invisibility for hosting them. If you’ve ever wondered how influence moves behind the scenes—or how to push back with transparency and sunlight—this conversation is for you.
If the mission resonates, help keep these voices audible: follow the show, subscribe on your favorite app, leave a review to boost visibility, and share this episode with someone who cares about truth in media and publishing. Your signal can outweigh the pressure to make hard stories vanish.
