Jess Michaels, 1991 survivor of sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein
Voice of Freedom Forum
"One Voice. Powerful Change."
March 14, 9 am - 12 pm
Valleybrook Auditorium, 412 Barstow St, Eau Claire
Jess Michaels is a TEDx speaker, social-impact founder, and survivor-advocate reshaping how we understand trauma, safety, and community care. A 1991 Jeffrey Epstein and childhood sexual abuse survivor, Jess has navigated Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for more than three decades, an experience that now fuels her life’s work.
She is the founder and CEO of 3Joannes, Inc., a Public Benefit Corporation developing #WithYouToo, the first-ever Social Safety app built on the principles of Sexual Assault First Aid™—a framework that teaches everyday people how to show up in moments that matter, before, during, and after crisis. The platform equips peers and communities with pre-crisis protocols, trauma-sensitive support skills, and clear post-assault care pathways.
At the heart of Jess’s work is a powerful reframing: sexual assault is an injury before it’s an investigation. Her mission is to prevent long-term PTSD by ensuring survivors receive immediate, compassionate, stabilizing care before systems and interrogations unintentionally deepen the harm
