On June 2, 2025 Lift Our Voices hosted a much-needed, powerful conversation about how institutions use retaliation and secrecy to silence the truth. LOV co-founders Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky were joined by psychologist Dr. Jennifer Freyd, who coined the term DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender), Superposition Stories founder Ariella Steinhorn, and civil rights attorney Victoria Burke. Together, they broke down how NDAs, forced arbitration, and defamation threats are used to punish survivors, and what it takes to fight back.

“Courage is contagious.” At the LILLY film screening, Lift Our Voices co-founders Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky reflected on the cost—and necessity—of speaking out. From NDAs to retaliation, the silencing of survivors continues. But as Gretchen said: “If I don’t jump off this cliff, who will?” This moment reminded us: speaking truth to power may be hard, but staying silent costs more.

Gretchen and Julie discussed LOV's inaugural “LOV Where You Work” survey that will be used to create an index that rates companies in the Russell 3000 on their use of forced arbitration and non-disclosure agreements.

On December 3, we hosted a powerful National Speak Out Day webinar to mark the two-year anniversary of the Speak Out Act. The event brought together survivors, legal experts, and advocates to discuss how landmark federal laws like the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (EFAA) and the Speak Out Act, both of which we spearheaded, are reshaping workplaces and empowering survivors to seek justice.
