For #DVAM2021 we turned up the heat on our call to action from last year, No Survivor Justice without Racial Justice. We MUST center, celebrate, and follow the leadership of communities of color - survivors, leaders, advocates, and frontline workers.

Learn more from our partners at National Indigenous Women's Resource Center & Alaska Native Women's Resource Center.
