  "account": "On Thursday, TIME hosted an Impact Dinner in Chicago to honor individuals working to empower and support survivors of domestic violence. The event was presented by The Allstate Foundation and featured four speakers: Donna Ferrato, Tommi Vincent, Troy Vincent, and Ashley Judd.\n\nDonna Ferrato, a photojournalist and activist, spoke about her mother who was a survivor and her inspiration for her work. She honored a woman named Elisabeth Lindberg, who she documented going through domestic violence in her well-known photograph, \"Behind Closed Doors.\" Ferrato reflected on Lindberg's courage, stating that she empowered herself even as her life unraveled. Ferrato emphasized the importance of breaking the silence and being outspoken in supporting survivors.\n\nTommi Vincent and her husband Troy Vincent shared their personal experiences with domestic violence, which motivated them to become advocates. Tommi Vincent highlighted her mission of normalizing the conversation around domestic violence and stated her commitment to building a new house for survivors, focusing on their voices and experiences. Troy Vincent emphasized the link between domestic violence and financial instability, as their mother sought help due to her inability to work after being abused.\n\nFinally, Ashley Judd discussed the silent attitudes many men hold towards the violence perpetrated by others. She recounted her experiences with sexual violence and abuse, and argued that those who remain silent about abuse are complicit. Judd urged anyone who witnesses abuse to become upstanders, heal themselves, and hold men accountable. She concluded by stating that everyone has a role in supporting survivors.",
