David SamarziaDavid Samarzia gave countless unpaid hours to PAVSA (Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault), First Witness Child Advocacy Center, Men as Peacemakers, and other nonprofits. He staffed the PAVSA hotline, taking calls from hundreds of men and womn in their own abuse crises. For them he was a listener, advocate, and a real friend who understood what they were going through. He was interviewed by local and national news outlets, including Newsweek, Dateline, World News Tonight, and Minnesota public radio. His lawsuit, filed anonymously as John W. Doe v. Redeemer Lutheran Church et al, set a precedent for other victims of childhood sexual abuse to prevail in litigation against their molesters.David is a lifelong dog lover who credits his canine companions for helping him survive the unthinkable.
