After her rally with @BarackObama, I asked @amyactonoh about her message to survivors of abuse: "For those out there going through it now, hold on, please. If there's someone you feel safe with, say something about it. I know it's not always safe to do that. It wasn't always safe for me, but you will know. Get the help you need, and I can tell you there is a whole much better life out there.”
