:"We will not tolerate the double standard. What is deemed disrespect and a breach of the code of conduct for the grassroots Leaders of SNAP is called "justifiable" for the Board of Directors and the Executive Director. This will not stand"
What are we doing here at RemembertheSurvivors.cooom?
In August 2024, several grassroots leaders attempted to get the Board of Directors to listen to their concerns about SNAP and its leadership at the top. Like many other not-for-profit organizations, there are often growing pains that need to be tended to in order to keep the organization moving in the right directions. SNAP's board refused to listen, refused to meet with us, stonewalled us, gaslighted us, and generally disrespected us. This has been going on for 13 months to date. Read the "Timeline and Correspondence" document if you want a clear-cut picture of what has happened.
We are here for a very specific purpose. We want SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) to be a safe haven for those who have been sexually abused. Traditionally, SNAP has advicated for those abused by clergy but our message has spread out its welcoming arms to all those who are sexually molested. We are advocates for those raped and molested. We are advocates for victims of sexual violence and sex trafficking.
SNAP is comprised mostly of those who have been victims of sexual abuse themselves. These brave and generous survivors risk the trauma of remembering their abuse as they help others grow strong and move from survivors to thrivers.

Disclaimer: To the Executive Direcctor and Board of Directors of SNAP
On July 25 , 2025, the Executive Director of SNAP, Angela Walker, and the SNAP Board of Directors cautioned leaders publicly not to use the official SNAP logo on this or any website. My response is that, having known that rule for the 21 years of this website's existence, I have not used the official SNAP logo. To my knowledge, the only SNAP logo that I am aware of on this website is contained in letters to leaders and members from the Board or Executive Director. I will remove those logos by the end of the SNAP conference being held until Sunday, July 27, 2025.
If anyone finds an official SNAP logo at Rememberthesurvivors.com, please email me immediately at susan8324@gmail.com. Perhaps the inference of my wrongdoing with this site is not deliberate by the Executive Director or the Board, but please feel free to examine every area of this site and contact me if you see any form of the logo pictured below. I would not want to be in violation of the logo mandate.
Faithfully submitted,
