Just a reminder - please consider signing this petition if you haven't already.

This is not just another random petition, but rather will have some practical effects since it will be submitted as part of Lavender Leto's application to BCNR (Board of Corrections of Naval Records) but also will be submitted to members of Congress, DoD, and the POTUS.

Please consider signing this petition in support of one of my clients, Lavender Gunderson, a survivor of military recruiting abuse.

This petition has three main prongs:

1. Expressing support for Lavender's discharge upgrade case with the Board of Corrections of Naval Records (BCNR) so that she will be eligible for VA care in the future,

2. Demanding Congress take further action to stop recruiter abuse,

3. Demanding the Executive branch (including POTUS Joe Biden, the Secretary of Defense, and the branch secretaries) take action to implement further regulations to prevent recruiter abuse.

And after you sign, please share the petition.

P.S. This petition will be presented to BCNR as part of Lavender's discharge upgrade application packet, but also will be shared with government officials this fall.

This is the case of one of my clients.

Excerpt: Annette was a 17-year-old who dreamed of being in the Navy. Unfortunately, her recruiter violated his leadership position and committed statutory rape. He continued to abuse and manipulate her, even attempting to blackmail her into silence, so this brave recruit reported the crimes, . . .

This is the case of one of my clients.

Excerpt: Annette was a 17-year-old who dreamed of being in the Navy. Unfortunately, her recruiter violated his leadership position and committed statutory rape. He continued to abuse and manipulate her, even attempting to blackmail her into silence, so this brave recruit reported the crimes, and did so as an “unrestricted reporter,” meaning that the allegation was known by her future command when she shipped out to boot camp.

Unfortunately due to her having made an unrestricted report of sexual assault by her recruiter, she was targeted for abusive treatment by her command and she eventually reached a mental breaking point. She was then forcibly hospitalized and mistreated in that medical facility. Despite what she was going through, she was able to successfully testify against her old recruiter (ensuring his eventual guilty plea and conviction), but was also coerced into accepting a lesser discharge from the Navy, which meant that she had no access to counseling, legal or any other kind of transitional support when she returned back to civilian life. She has since worked hard to heal herself, but she has had to fight her debilitating disability largely on her own.

Due to the circumstances of her case (as the only known survivor of recruiter abuse, who made an unrestricted report of the abuse prior to shipping out to boot camp), Annette Gunderson has a unique opportunity to fight back and to ensure that what happened to her, doesn’t happen to anyone else.
