Justin Baldoni is sending “gratitude, strength and love” to survivors of domestic violence.

On Friday, Aug. 30, the It Ends with Us director and star, 40, posted a moving open letter on Instagram — now weeks after the release of the blockbuster adaption of the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, which features domestic violence as one of its complex themes.

The letter, which begins with “Dear survivor,” was shared with the Survivor Love Letter community organization and the No More Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of domestic and sexual violence.

“You embody resilience and courage, qualities that shine bright even on the darkest days,” Baldoni wrote in the letter. “In the tapestry of your life, each thread tells a story of endurance, strength and hope. Every step forward you take, no matter how small, is a declaration of your unyielding spirit and an inspiration to others.”

“You may not always see the impact you have, but your journey encourages and motivates, lighting the path for those of us still searching for the light,” he continued. “While I can never fully understand your pain and all you have endured, I want you to know that you are never alone in this fight. We are with you.”

Baldoni closed his message by adding, “You are not just surviving; you are thriving, and in your thriving, you inspire us all.”

“May your journey forward be filled with moments of profound peace,” he wrote. “And may you remember that as you fight for joy…you are liberating us all. Sending you gratitude, strength and love.”

Baldoni’s message comes less than a month since It Ends with Us arrived in theaters on Aug. 9. In the film, Blake Lively and Baldoni star as Lily Bloom and Ryle, respectively, with Lively also serving as a producer.

When asked what he will remember of the film, Baldoni told Entertainment Tonight at the movie’s New York City premiere on Aug. 6 that “what comes to mind isn’t so much the work that went into it but the ‘why’ behind it.”

“The ‘why’ was that if a Lily Bloom in real life can sit in this theater and maybe make a different choice for herself than was made for her, maybe she sees herself on that screen and she leaves the theater and chooses something different for herself,” he explained. “That’s why I made the movie.”

Lively, 37, emphasized the film’s “story of the female experience” on her Instagram Stories following its opening weekend last month.

“All the highest highs, and lowest lows. And we are so proud of it,” she wrote at the time. “We have been in celebration of this film and of getting a message so important out there to the masses. Thank you all for embracing It Ends with Us with the same love, pain and joy we had sharing it with you all.”

Since the film’s release and amid its promotional tour, there have been rumors of a rift between Lively and Baldoni. Speaking about “what may or may not have happened behind the scenes,” fellow It Ends with Us star Brandon Sklenar wrote in his own Instagram letter on Aug. 20 that it “hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film.”

“Colleen and the women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance, and for women choosing a better life for themselves,” Sklenar, 34, wrote at the time. “Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about. It is, in fact, the opposite of the point.”
