Meet Violence Free Colorado
Colorado’s unique geography gives it its beauty, but can also create a sense of isolation in many communities. Violence Free Colorado helps to bridge programs and the work done on behalf of survivors, provides opportunities for advocates to come together to learn and network, and gives survivors and advocates a unified voice among decision makers and funders.

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.”
