And So I Stayed
Join us for a special screening of the award-winning film, AND SO I STAYED, followed by a discussion led by the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center
AND SO I STAYED is a moving portrait of three survivors of abuse whose strikingly similar stories are separated by over 30 years.
Formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while incarcerated, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence.
None of them were believed, and each of them was criminalized for fighting back.
