This week, as we celebrate 30 years of the Violence Against Women Act, our Domestic Violence Initiative Regional Task Force (and shout out to our co-chair Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence!) had a GREAT meeting this morning in Kent of 80+ prosecutors, law enforcement, treatment providers, elected officials and advocates all joining together to improve the ways we support survivors and advance community safety. A huge thanks to Amy Bullard from our team for organizing this event, to City of Kent Mayor Dana Ralph and Kent City Council for providing the space, and to Sound Cities Association for hosting us. As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of VAWA, it’s worth noting that this local work – which joins together community and system partners to support survivors – is funded by our VAWA STOP grant. Here’s to 30 more years of VAWA resources helping bring our community together to stand up for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.
