Crown Letter: Ruth Glenn

Dear Ms. Glenn,

You’ve spent decades advocating for survivors — not just providing services, but changing systems. NCADV has shaped policy, trained advocates, and amplified survivor voices at the national level.

We want to build infrastructure that makes your work easier.

The Invitation

We’re inviting you to advise Rally Group — our survivor support and evidence preservation initiative within Liana Banyan.

What Rally Group Does

Your Role

We’re not asking you to run Rally Group — Kimberly A. Williams (Ujima) has been invited to lead. We’re asking you to advise on:

• Policy alignment
• Best practices
• Organizational partnerships
• Survivor-centered design

Why You

You understand that survivor support requires systemic change, not just individual services.

What NCADV Has Demonstrated

• Policy advocacy works
• Survivor voices must lead
• Collaboration amplifies impact
• Prevention requires systemic change

What We’re Asking

• Advise on Rally Group’s design
• Connect to your network of advocates
• Ensure policy alignment
• Bring credibility to survivor-led infrastructure

You’ve shaped the field. We’re asking you to help us build on it.

The Defense Klaus Integration

Rally Group is the human network. Defense Klaus is the technology. Together:

How It Works

1. Survivor documents incident (text, photo, audio)
2. Peer witness verifies and co-signs
3. Evidence encrypted and distributed
4. Timestamp creates legal record
5. Survivor controls when/if to release

Why This Matters

The Policy Alignment

Rally Group is designed to complement, not replace, existing services:

What We’re NOT Doing

• Not replacing hotlines — We connect to them
• Not replacing shelters — We help people find them
• Not replacing advocates — We support their work
• Not replacing law enforcement — We preserve evidence for when survivors choose to report

What We ARE Doing

• Peer support infrastructure — Survivors helping survivors
• Evidence preservation — Technology that protects documentation
• Resource connection — Helping people find existing services
• Gap filling — Serving people who fall through cracks

The Ask

We’re asking for your expertise, not your time.

Specifically

1. Advisory Input — Review Rally Group’s design
2. Policy Guidance — Ensure we align with best practices
3. Network Connection — Introduce us to key organizations
4. Credibility — Your endorsement validates the approach

Compensation

• Advisory fees at market rate
• No time commitment beyond periodic review
• Full transparency on Rally Group operations
• Impact — infrastructure that supports your mission

The Vision

Imagine infrastructure that:

• Makes survivor support scalable — not just heroic individual effort
• Preserves evidence automatically — not dependent on perfect documentation
• Connects resources seamlessly — not requiring survivors to navigate alone
• Complements existing services — not competing with them

You’ve been building toward this for decades. We want to help.

Next Steps

If this resonates, let’s talk.

No commitment required — just a conversation about:

• What Rally Group could look like
• How it would integrate with existing services
• What concerns you’d have
• What resources you’d need
