About this event

If you stay quiet, the system is working.

The vital second instalment in our Silence Breakers author series brings together internationally recognized advocate and educator Julie S. Lalonde (Resilience Is Futile) and legal scholar Julie Macfarlane (Going Public).

Together, they'll discuss the stigma that comes with speaking up and speaking out against sexual violence, as well as the balancing act between pursuing professional advocacy work while coming to terms with past trauma.

The author-narrated audiobook of Resilience Is Futile is out now on all major audio platforms, including Audible, Google Play, Apple Books, and more.

Going Public is available in paperback and ebook wherever books are sold.

Praise for Resilience Is Futile

“Lalonde’s brave new book is chilling, upsetting, and so very important.”
– Robyn Doolittle, author of Had It Coming: What’s Fair in the Age Of #MeToo?
“Read this book and feel your hands tremble.... Lalonde’s voice is uncompromising.”
– Alex Leslie, author of We All Need to Eat
“A chilling insight into what it is like to survive under surveillance. Stalking has been a neglected topic in the #MeToo movement. This book is guaranteed to change that.”
– Mandi Gray, activist and subject of the documentary Slut or Nut: Diary of a Rape Trial

Praise for Going Public

"Painful, inspiring, challenging, demoralizing, empowering, and practical... A must read.”
– Charlene Y. Senn, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sexual Violence
"Going Public is more than a #MeToo memoir; it is a call to action to fundamentally change institutional responses to sexual violence.”
– Mandi Gray, activist and sociologist
"Going Public is a page-turner of truth, bravery, persistence and morality by a leader of reform in the justice system."
– Carrie Menkel Meadow, Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine and Georgetown University Law Center (Emerita)
