It is hard to imagine that forty-seven years ago, the idea of women uniting to confront violence and boldly proclaiming, “We will not be silenced,” was considered an evolutionary notion. As people around the world continue to struggle for survival against oppression, and in a world where safety should be a fundamental right, millions of women still find themselves entangled in the web of domestic violence, struggling to find a way out.
Today, as the world continues to shift and change right before our eyes, we find ourselves reclaiming those words because we know what is at stake. The battles we face are not just personal; they are collective struggles for equality, justice, and a sustainable future. In this era of transformation, our voices must arise above the noise, echoing the urgency of our circumstances.
Here in Marin, where domestic violence remains the most frequent violent crime, Center for Domestic Peace (C4DP) stands as a beacon of hope, offering comprehensive support to thousands of survivors seeking refuge from fear and violence, a place of transformation for those seeking to change their harmful behavior, and a space of inspiration for future generations.
The scenarios we encounter at C4DP are as diverse as those we serve. Our commitment to social justice drives us to advocate fiercely for polices that empower survivors and dismantle system of oppression.
The truth is we don’t know what lies ahead. But what we do know is that our resilience is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters, like YOU, who believe in our purpose.
We remain vigilant and prepared to respond to the needs of women and girls, no matter the circumstances. These challenges ahead may be daunting, but with your support, we can ensure that C4DP remains a beacon of hope and a source of strength for those affected by domestic violence. Take Action! We urge you to give your year-end gift today, so we can be prepared for tomorrow!
Your contribution is vital in helping us build a stronger foundation for the future.
Every dollar counts and makes a difference, allowing us to sustain our programs, support our community, and take on emerging challenges. Together we can create lasting change and ensure that C4DP is equipped to face whatever comes our way.
Join us in our mission and be a part of something bigger. Thank you for your generosity and commitment for a brighter tomorrow.
In peace and unity,
Tara Peterson
