Meet the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence


Over the years, our legislative champions have helped re-establish shelter funding after it was line-item vetoed, secured a new state allocation for prevention, and put their time, energy and political weight to address needs of incarcerated and immigrant survivors. Many of our state-level champions have become Members of Congress, carrying with them a commitment to survivors on Capitol Hill. We are grateful to each legislator who has made California a safer, more inclusive place.

Meet the Missouri Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence


“We’re incredibly proud of our Shelter Rules project, a statewide effort that began in 2007 to work with domestic violence programs on reducing rules in shelter programs and incorporate a harm reduction model. The goal was to find a better way to welcome domestic violence victims — many of whom had every aspect of life controlled by their partners — into shelter where they could experience autonomy despite the constraints of a communal living environment.”

Meet the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence


“The coalition has adopted three core tenets for the entirety of its work – all the work we do and all presentations have to be intersectional, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered. Among the intersectional issues we embrace, we see poverty and economic justice as a central issue for ensuring survivors have long-term safety. We are committed to supporting our member programs in our complex state.”
