Our mission is to end gender-based violence and promote equitable relationships through collective action for social change. We do this by organizing opportunities to collectively fight for protective legislation, policies, and funding at the state and local levels; organizing and providing space for professionals across disciplines to share ideas, connect, and increase cross-systems collaboration; and offering trainings and technical assistance to improve trauma-informed, survivor-centered services and systems.
