Recognize. Observe. Act. Report.
Roarrrrr is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children impacted by sexual abuse. We believe every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and supported on their journey toward healing and hope.
Founded on the belief that silence protects abuse, Roar works to break that silence through education, advocacy, and survivor-centered support. We provide age-appropriate education that helps individuals and communities recognize the signs of sexual abuse, understand how to respond safely, and know when and how to report concerns. By increasing awareness, we aim to prevent abuse before it happens and intervene when it does.
At Roar, we are committed to walking alongside survivors. We strive to create safe spaces where children can find their voice, rebuild their strength, and regain a sense of control over their lives. Through partnerships, resources, and community outreach, we connect survivors and families to the support they need to heal.
Our work is guided by compassion, dignity, and empowerment. We believe that healing is possible, prevention is essential, and education saves lives. Together, we can create a world where children are protected, supported, and free to thrive.

ROARRRRR, Inc. believes that protecting children is a shared responsibility. We exist to ensure that children are equipped with the knowledge to recognize abuse, adults are prepared to respond when concerns arise, survivors have access to support, and communities work together to prevent abuse before it occurs.
Through education, advocacy, awareness, strategic partnerships, and justice-focused initiatives—including monitoring child sexual abuse and exploitation cases nationwide—we strive to build a culture where children are protected, offenders are held accountable, and survivors are empowered to reclaim their voices.
We envision a world where every child grows up free from abuse, exploitation, and victimization; where prevention education is as fundamental as any other form of safety education; where communities recognize the signs of abuse and take action; where survivors are believed and supported; and where those who harm children are held accountable through a justice system committed to protecting our most vulnerable.

Michael Speed, Founder & CEO
The founder of ROARRRRR, Inc. is an advocate who believes that protecting children is not simply a responsibility rather it is a moral obligation shared by every member of society. ROAR was founded on the conviction that this mission is far greater than any one person. It is not about building a name or recognition, but about building a movement. At the heart of this vision is the belief in the Kakachee Tribe—not as a bloodline, but as a belief line. Anyone who believes that children are a special class of humanity deserving of unwavering protection can be Kakachee. It is the belief that every child deserves a safe childhood, that the memories formed in their earliest years shape the rest of their lives, and that every adult has a responsibility to recognize, report, and prevent abuse. The founder envisions a world where protecting children is treated with the same urgency as protecting our most fundamental rights, advocating that every person should embrace the mindset of a mandated reporter and stand as a defender of children. Driven by a profound commitment to justice, the founder has spent years dedicated to child advocacy, supporting legislation that strengthens protections for children, raising awareness through public education, honoring victims through creative works such as music, and working alongside survivors, advocates, and communities. Every effort has been guided by the belief that meaningful change begins with individuals who choose to act. The founder believes that even the smallest actions can create lasting impact. One conversation, one presentation, one report, or one act of courage can change the course of a child's life. Through ROARRRRR, Inc., that belief has grown into a movement dedicated to prevention, education, advocacy, and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to live free from abuse and find their voice.
