We are proud to share that last week, Sanctuary for Families was recognized by President Joe Biden at The White House during the commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act #VAWA. President Biden acknowledged the national leaders present for their “heroic efforts to empower those suffering in silence.” We are grateful for the leadership of our Chief Program Officer, Simone Monasebian, who was invited to meet with President Biden in the East Room. We also recognize the significant contributions of Sanctuary's Lindsey Song and Lesley Johannsen, who actively participated in the Department of Justice’s landmark conference on gender violence. This commemoration serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made and the urgent work that remains to be done. We thank President Biden for his leadership and recognition of our critical efforts to combat domestic abuse and all forms of #GenderViolence.
