"It means sharing my story and knowing that I will be heard and validated and held. And to be reminded that I'm not alone and it was never my fault." These profound words from Auria Martinez, a survivor who participated in our "From Silence to Restoration" program, beautifully encapsulate the core of our mission at Sexual Assault Advocacy Network. We believe in fostering environments where survivors can reclaim their voices, feel seen, and experience the profound healing that comes from shared understanding and validation. Our programs, like "From Silence to Restoration," are designed to create safe, compassionate spaces where individuals can process their experiences and find solidarity. Auria's journey highlights the transformative power of being heard and affirmed, reinforcing that the impact of sexual abuse is never the survivor's fault. This experience is vital for personal healing and for empowering survivors to thrive beyond trauma. We invite you to learn more about how SAAN champions the rights and well-being of sexual assault survivors through compassionate support, empowerment, and advocacy for justice. Explore our initiatives and join us in building a society rooted in respect, consent, and dignity. Visit saancommunity.org to discover resources and ways to get involved.

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) continues investigating human trafficking in Oakland. On December 15, 2025, OPD’s Vice and Child Exploitation Unit and our Special Resources Officers (SRO) West conducted a targeted human trafficking operation along International Boulevard.

During the investigation, officers located, rescued, and connected two juvenile females, one from Portland and one from Oakland, with appropriate services. Both juveniles were identified as victims of human trafficking.

This operation is part of an ongoing, coordinated initiative aimed at addressing and combating human trafficking in our city.

If you know someone who may be a victim of human trafficking or is being exploited, please contact the Oakland Human Trafficking Hotline at 510-238-2373 or email [email protected]

Your call can help save a life.

We are so excited to share this with community💜

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛

There are days when self-doubt feels like a wall you just can’t get over. You want to speak up, take a chance, or go after what you want - but that little voice inside whispers, “You’re not enough.”

I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to avoid relationships, hesitate in your career, and feel like life is moving forward while you stay stuck. It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, pretending everything is fine, while inside you feel paralyzed.

That’s exactly why I created “5 Keys to Confidence”, a free masterclass for survivors of abuse.

Together, we’ll explore:

- How to face fears that have been holding you back

- How to see and own the strengths you already have

- How to take action that builds real, lasting confidence

Live November 20 at 3:30p PT / 6:30p ET

7-day replay included for anyone who can’t make it live.
