To help celebrate 20 years of supporting survivors through the National Sexual Assault Hotline, Tori Amos gathered with RAINN supporters and fans for a special brunch at the Anderson House in Washington, D.C. on August 17.

Tracy Sefl, RAINN board member, hosted the brunch, which included remarks from RAINN founder and president Scott Berkowitz, and a Q & A session with Tori Amos.

In her remarks to attendees, Amos stated: “I want to thank you all. We need each other. At different times we are stronger.”
