🥂 A Toast to 10: Recycled Soles, Renewed Hope 🥂 A Toast to 10: Recycled Soles, Renewed Hope

In 2018, Brave Step launched Recycled Soles, a unique campaign turning hundreds of used shoes into resources to support survivors of sexual violence.

One of our biggest champions? @mecksheriff. Their team rallied the community, collected an incredible number of shoes and proved that small steps can make a big difference.

Every pair recycled helped fund programs, raise awareness and remind survivors they’re not alone.

Here’s to creative ideas, community partners and the impact we make together. 👟💙

Behind the Brave 💙 | Generosity Across Generati Behind the Brave 💙 | Generosity Across Generations

These words came from one of our youngest donors, and they hit us right in the heart.

It’s proof that advocacy, compassion and courage can ripple across generations. That when survivors speak up and fight for change, they inspire those around them -family, friends and even the youngest among us to carry the mission forward.

To this young changemaker: thank you for standing beside your grandma and every survivor. You’re helping to build a future where respect, love and safety are the norm.

Voices of Change 💬 | Charlie’s Story Meet Ch Voices of Change 💬 | Charlie’s Story

Meet Charlie ... a brave and incredible survivor who refuses to stay silent.

By sharing his truth, Charlie is shining a light on a reality too often overlooked: sexual violence impacts men, and its effects can last a lifetime.

His voice challenges the stigma, breaks the silence and opens the door for other men to seek recovery without shame.

To every man carrying this burden quietly: you are not alone. Your story matters. Your story matters. And like Charlie, you have the power to help change the conversation. 💙
