SOSHA's Letter Writing Campaign 2023
Our goal is to allow survivors a space to share their stories with our community- or just with SOSHA- in order to feel heard, supported, and believed. We aim to allow anonymity where it is desired and visibility when it is needed. We are grateful to all of those who wrote letters for our campaign. To read these letters visit our Letter Writing Campaign Page.
Publication: To view letters written for our letter writing campaign that individuals wanted to share please visit our Letter Writing Campaign Page on this website or our instagram @oberlin_sosha.
Future: We will continue to have letter writing campaigns in the future. We encourage you to write them for yourself, even though our 2023 Letter Writing Campaign is over. Some things you may consider.
Everything about your letter is entirely up to you: who you write it to, what you choose to share, and how you would like to share it with SOSHA. You have agency in this experience. If you want ideas of how to structure your letter, you might consider:
We Look Forward to Reading Your Stories, and We Vow to Treat them With the Utmost Respect.

- Who is it addressed to? (Ex: Dear Survivor, Dear Abuser, Dear Younger Self, Dear Future Self, Dear Oberlin, Dear SOSHA, Dear Friend, etc.)
- What do you want to share? (Ex: your story, your experience of healing, how you are feeling today, what you hope for in the future, etc.)
We Look Forward to Reading Your Stories, and We Vow to Treat them With the Utmost Respect.
