WHO WE ARE

People behind the work.

Meet the Team

Kim Nunes

Kim Nunes

Legislative Director

Kim Nunes was the whistleblower who brought to light the sexual abuse perpetrated by Reggie Joiner at Orange in April 2024. Orange was a nonprofit curriculum company. At its height, under Reggie Joiner’s leadership, Orange equipped nearly 8,000 churches worldwide and influenced hundreds of thousands of children, teenagers, families, and faith leaders.

Since exposing what was happening at Orange, Kim has worked tirelessly to advocate not only for those harmed there, but also for other victims of clergy sexual abuse who have entrusted her with their stories.

Kim holds a Master of Social Work and is licensed in the state of Georgia. She is coupling her education with her lived experience in a relentless pursuit of justice, accountability, and meaningful change. She is committed to ensuring that “blowing the whistle” on sexual abuse carries the full power of the law, empowering both survivors and those who courageously shine light on harm perpetrated by the very faith leaders entrusted to protect them.

Ruth Malhotra

Public Relations

Ruth Malhotra is a communications strategist and advocate who seeks to communicate truth with clarity and grace. She is passionate about strengthening institutional integrity and protecting the vulnerable within faith communities. For nearly 20 years, she has worked at the intersection of religion and culture. She previously managed public relations for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM), an unlikely journey that led her from spokesperson to whistleblower and, ultimately, to advocacy for survivors of abuse and institutional reform.

Hayle Swinson

Hayle Swinson

Grassroots Strategy

Hayle Swinson is a survivor of clergy sexual abuse who now dedicates her voice and work to advocacy, reform, and survivor protection. After years of silence, confusion, and spiritual manipulation, Hayle chose to expose what had been hidden. Her decision to come forward sparked public examination of institutional failures and ignited conversations about the need for stronger protections under Georgia law.

She believes the Gospel calls believers to confront darkness, defend the vulnerable, and pursue justice without fear. For Hayle, advocacy is not political, it is biblical, rooted in the conviction that truth honors God. Today, she works alongside lawmakers, advocates, and survivors to advance legislative reform, close legal gaps surrounding adult clergy sexual abuse, and build safer faith communities. She is honored to stand in this fight not only for her own healing, but so future generations inherit laws and protections shaped by justice, integrity, and courage.
