NNEDV’s Statement on the 2024 Election Results

November 6, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: NNEDV Communications Team (Communications@NNEDV.org)

Washington, D.C. – As our country concludes the 2024 election season, the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) reaffirms our commitment to working toward a world where domestic violence no longer exists.

For nearly 35 years, NNEDV has represented the 56 state and U.S. territorial coalitions against domestic violence, their more than 2,000 member programs across the country, and the millions of survivors they serve every year. The movement to end domestic violence has spanned decades, overcome many barriers, and endured through the strength and resilience of the survivors who founded it. NNEDV’s work remains centered on survivors, and we are committed to continuing this work together.

Today and every day, we are in solidarity with our member coalitions, advocates, survivors, and their loved ones. We welcome you to join us. Survivors of color (especially Black survivors), survivors in the LGBTQ+ community (especially transgender survivors), immigrant survivors, unhoused survivors, survivors with disabilities, and survivors living at these and other intersections deserve to be safe. NNEDV remains steadfast in our work to center these and all survivors, to work across the aisle and at every level of government, in order to create a better world, free from violence in all of its forms, for survivors and for all of us.

“The National Network to End Domestic Violence and its membership have worked tirelessly on behalf of survivors across six presidential administrations, and our commitment continues with the new administration and Congress,” said Stephanie Love-Patterson, NNEDV President & CEO. “Our work transcends the election cycle. We believe in the resilience of our movement, in the importance of prioritizing and lifting the voices of survivors, and in the strength of survivors to overcome the challenges before us. We have done it before, and I have faith that we will do it again.”

Our movement has secured substantial funding and bipartisan legislative successes for survivors, yet critical challenges remain. Compounding funding cuts continue to strain programs and advocates, forcing reductions in services, staff layoffs, and program closures, leaving survivors with fewer options for support.

The solutions to these challenges must transcend party lines. On behalf of our membership, NNEDV is committed to working with Congress and the new administration to address the urgent needs of survivors, advocates, and programs. None of us can do this work alone. Now is the time to care for ourselves and each other as we build the world we want to see – a world where future generations can exist without violence:
