Virtual Advocacy Days 2021

Be Heard, Take Action, End Violence

The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) hosted our annual Advocacy Day virtually June 15-16, 2021. 

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to advance the collective agenda of domestic violence leadership from across the United States with the help of technology.

Registration

We welcomed the participation of as many state and territory coalition members as possible. We encouraged coalitions to invite survivors who wanted to speak from their lived experience, culturally specific service providers, and first-time participants, as well as those of you who join us each year in DC.

Registration was free for those speaking as survivors with lived experience and for culturally specific service provider staff.
