On today’s special episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we have an incredibly important interview. Ben sits down with State Rep. Julie Brixie) (MI) & sexual assault survivor and advocate Isabelle Brourman. Brourman, who is among eight individuals suing the University of Michigan for sexual misconduct by one of the schools music lecturers, recounts her experience as a survivor & details actions the school must take. State Rep. Julie Brixie is a Democratic member of the Michigan House of Representatives. Representing the 69th House District, Rep. Brixie is spearheading the Justice For Survivors Package in response to Brourman’s (and the eight other victims) lawsuit against the school. The Justice For Survivors Package (HB5962-64) aims to eliminate the statute of limitations if there is a criminal conviction, extend the SOL from age 28 to age 48 & extend the SOL from the time a survivor discovers they were injured from 3 to 7 years.
