STATEMENT FROM REBEKAH JONES:
Thank you for the warmth and love you all have shown me and my family this past week.
My journey as a whistleblower has been a grueling public affair for nearly four years. Through the many highs and lows, you all have been an unwavering source of support.
Everyone has a breaking point, and I reached mine last week. Since walking back from that ledge, I’ve been unplugged from all technology.
In being unreachable, I added undue stress and concern on the communities and people who care about me, and for that I deeply apologize.
I’m continuing my break from social media this week while I spend time with my family, and will re-evaluate my relationship with these sites after that time.
I’m young. I still have stories to tell, people to help, and fascists to piss off. Given some time, I’d love to keep pissing them off together with all of you. Whether that’s here or through another medium, I’m not done fighting yet.
With Love, Rebekah
