Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services (CONNSACS) and the Victim/Survivor Advisory Council have created the "One Thing" campaign. Survivors who want to share their experiences are often told to be quiet or are met with disbelief. This 30 second public service announcement was an opportunity for survivors to share information and experiences related to sexual assault.
