Values

Aspirational and Visionary. We believe in the potential of each person and each community to be free of relationship violence and coercion. Toward that end, we lead the way toward systemic change with innovation and resiliency.

Survivor-Focused and Feminist Movement-Based. We prioritize the experiences of survivors while building our community-based work and collaborating to make lasting social, systemic, and institutional change.

Equity. Economic and racial justice are key aspects of our work to end violence. We model and advocate for diversity and inclusion, recognizing that they are central to achieving equity.

Relationship-Based. We lead with connection, inclusivity, and generosity while also being willing to have courageous conversations.

Responsive and Strategic. We are adaptable and nimble, including in unprecedented times. We are constantly learning and use data to guide our decisions.
