Survivors - settling a sex assault case as part of a class action is a windfall for attorneys, and a way for institutions to make a problem go away, instead of forcing real reform and accountability.

Here's what you need to know: https://twitter.com/johnmanly/status/1328537781702852610
Class actions in these cases provide a way for attorneys to make a huge sum, with very little work, and almost no individual attention to what each survivor has been through and what justice should look like for each person. . .

It's about a payday for the attorney, not justice.
And class actions allow institutions to bury problems quickly, with exceedingly minimal liability. Meaning no real accountability, no public reckoning, no meaningful answers, and without any meaningful consequences for those whose lives were changed because of their failures.
Survivors - don't ever sign on with an attorney who will use a class action strategy in a sexual assault case, OR who uses non-disclosure agreements.

Research attorneys. If they've used these strategies in the past, find someone else who not only doesn't do this, but fights it.
