Inaugural Survivors’ Solidarity March Sparks Nationwide Call for Justice
“This day belongs to survivors everywhere,” said Elisa Batista, Campaign Director at UltraViolet and featured speaker at the march. “Every time a survivor speaks out, they make it easier for another survivor to find their voice—and shift the shame and blame where it belongs: onto abusers and those who enable them. To every survivor: We see you, we hear you, we believe you—and we won’t stop fighting for a better future in which survivors are empowered and abusers are held accountable.”

LA City Council Unanimously Votes for Reevaluation of Casey Wasserman’s LA28 Leadership
"Ahead of the Friday vote, Elisa Batista, the Campaign Director of UltraViolet Action, a national women-led gender-justice organization, made it clear it was the group’s belief that Wasserman did not “deserve” to stay on as LA28 Organizing Chairman.
“This vote is just the latest example of Angelenos speaking out, loud and clear, against sexual violence and rape culture,” Batista said Friday. “We do not want someone affiliated with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell representing the city of Los Angeles, let alone the entire country, on one of the world’s largest stages.”
The Heat on Wasserman Isn’t Dying Down: LA City Council Approves Resolution to Reconsider Wasserman’s Position on LA28 Olympic Committee
"“This vote is just the latest example of Angelenos speaking out, loud and clear, against sexual violence and rape culture,” said Elisa Batista, Campaign Director at UltraViolet Action, a leading national women-led gender-justice organization. “We do not want someone affiliated with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell representing the City of Los Angeles, let alone the entire country, on one of the world’s largest stages.”
“The leadership of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics should be free from any association with individuals connected to a child sexual abuse and trafficking operation—both morally and practically, given how critical these games are to Los Angeles and the entire country,” said Batista.
“Holding a position like Olympic Chairman is a privilege, not a right, and Wasserman does not deserve that right,” Batista continued. “Any excuses for keeping Casey Wasserman on the board are empty and a slap in the face to survivors everywhere.”"
