Where Feminism and Vulnerability Meet: a virtual book release & fundraiser
Tempest Collective and We Believe Tara Reade present:
Where Feminism and Vulnerability Meet: a book release and reading from Tara Reade’s memoir Left Out: When The Truth Doesn’t Fit In
Recorded February 20th, 2021 and benefiting Know Your IX and Voices In Action.
Founded in 2013, Know Your IX is a survivor- and youth-led project of Advocates for Youth that aims to empower students to end sexual and dating violence in their schools. Know Your IX envisions a world in which all students can pursue their civil right to an education free from violence and harassment. They recognize that gender violence is both a cause of inequity and a consequence of it, and they believe that women, transgender, and gender non-conforming students will not have equality in education or opportunity until the violence ends. Know Your IX draws upon the civil rights law Title IX as an alternative to the criminal legal system — one that is more just and responsive to the educational, emotional, financial, and stigmatic harms of violence.
Know Your IX supports the choices survivors make — whether or not to report, and to whom to report — and recognizes that these choices are particularly difficult because our laws and communities offer a severely limited set of options for survivors. Given the tremendous flaws and violence of the criminal justice system, Know Your IX celebrates Title IX’s potential to create effective anti-carceral responses to serious harms while recognizing that this promise has not yet been realized.

Tara Reade is an author, survivor, and former legislative aide in the US Senate. After coming forward about her experience with Joe Biden in 1993, Tara experienced the full wrath of the democratic establishment and mainstream media in an effort to silence her. Her book details what she endured coming forward, first in 2019 about sexual harassment, and again in 2020 when she came forward about Biden’s sexual assault.
