For #DVAM2021 we are turning up the heat on our 2020 theme, No Survivor Justice Without Racial Justice. Domestic violence is linked to all forms of violence. To end domestic violence, we must dismantle anti-Blackness, other types of racism, discrimination, & structures that perpetuate oppression. This October and beyond, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) calls on the domestic violence movement to center, celebrate, and follow the leadership of Black survivors, leaders, advocates and frontline workers.
When we work together and each do #1Thing to prevent youth relationship violence and foster healthy relationships and communities, real social change is possible.

Circulos/Conversations for Black Women Advocates
October 14 and 21, 2021 2:00pm ET/1:00pm CT/ 11:00am PT
Black advocates have been tired for a very long time. What would it look like to build a movement that truly supports Black women’s well-being and ability to bring their whole selves to this work? How do Black women sustain each other in this movement? How can we foster true unity for Black and Brown advocates in the face of constant and ongoing disruption? Collective liberation and healing can only happen when Black women are at the center. Join these conversations to listen, learn from, and honor the lived experiences of Black women advocates.
