Needs
Unrestricted contributions support the operations of our organization as well as our public policy activities, including advocacy at the Capitol. These funds also help us create quick advocacy communications mobilizing partners all across the state to action. Your donations help support emerging projects that build equity in the Movement to End Domestic Violence:
The Black, Indigenous & Native, and People of Color Preventionists Mentoring project: The Prevention Team will be developing a mentorship project to support Black, Indigenous & Native, and Preventionists of Color. This will be through a dedicated Community of Practice to support the unique challenges of working within oppressive systems.
The Black, Indigenous & Native, and People of Color Leadership Project: The Partnership is in the initial stages of a leadership development project that focuses on Black, Indigenous & Native, and People of Color in Executive Director positions. The purpose is to address the significant challenges when these leaders are at the helm of both mainstream and culturally grounded organizations. Their relationships with their staff, Board of Directors, and larger community often determines whether they are successful or not. Therefore, the Partnership is galvanizing leaders from California and across the country to develop a leadership program to help Black, Indigenous & Native, and Leaders of Color successfully navigate those complicated relationships.
Youth Advisory Committee: The Youth Advisory Committee emerged after Orange Day in 2019, a forum where young people asked legislators about important issues that mattered to them: inclusive and accurate sexual education, support available to youth survivors of sexual assault, and more. The Committee is in its beginning stages, and it will involve youth planning a statewide agenda to engage their peers across the state in service of addressing multiple forms of violence.
