Save the date! ?? NNEDV will host our 8th Annual #EJSummit March 11-13, 2025, in Philadelphia. This year's theme is "Financial Wellness: Embracing Abundance and Innovation." For too long, we have been living and managing through the lens of scarcity and doing more with less. If we allow ourselves to instead plan and strive for abundance, what would that look like? What would abundance mean for survivors and advocates? Consider unique tools, new technologies, wellness within an organization or team, as well as tried and true approaches that your organization is proud to share. This can mean internal policies for employee and survivor caretaking, unique program services, radical policy updates, best practices, and inclusivity at the forefront of service.

The movement to end domestic violence has spanned decades, overcome many barriers, and endured through the strength and resilience of the survivors who founded it. NNEDV’s work remains centered on survivors, and we are committed to continuing this work together. None of us can do this work alone. Now is the time to care for ourselves and each other as we build the world we want to see – a world where future generations can exist without violence: Tell Congress to act for survivors ?? https://bit.ly/30bN1hK Support your local program ?? https://bit.ly/3zq9Enj Connect with your state or territorial coalition ?? https://bit.ly/2HzYamr Support NNEDV ?? https://bit.ly/34f6eCD Read our full 2024 election statement: https://bit.ly/4fzxuiZ [Image description: Against a blue and purple ombre image of the White House, white and orange text reads: "NNEDV and its membership have worked tirelessly on behalf of survivors across six presidential administrations, and our commitment continues with the new administration and Congress. Our work transcends the election cycle. We believe in the resilience of our movement, in the importance of prioritizing and lifting the voices of survivors, and in the strength of survivors to overcome the challenges before us. We have done it before, and I have faith that we will do it again. Stephanie Love-Patterson NNEDV President & CEO. White NNEDV logo in bottom left.

We're grateful to Essence Communications Inc., A Call to Men, Ujima, The National Center on Violence Against Women in the Black Community, and The Allstate Foundation for this important conversation. ?? "Nearly all survivors of domestic violence face a hidden form of control that’s rarely discussed: financial abuse. More than 40% of Black women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime and are three times more likely to die at the hands of an intimate partner than women of other racial groups. They also often face systemic barriers when trying to access support."

#ElectionDay is TOMORROW! If you're a domestic violence survivor, or an advocate working with survivors, make sure to consider a safety plan for casting a ballot: https://bit.ly/46Zg0cI [Image description: Seven graphics with text reading: "Safe voting tips for domestic violence survivors. Vote when your abuser is busy. If you're worried about running into your abuser at your polling place, think about their schedule and try to pick a time when you think they may be busy. Ask a friend to support you. Even if your friend can't be with you in-person, they can stay in touch via text while you vote. Know a neighbor who's voting? See if they're willing to head to the polls together. Research so you can vote quickly. Planning how you're going to vote for can save you time at your polling place, especially if you have concerns about seeing your abuser while you vote. Practice self-care before and after voting. Planning a fun or relaxing activity around your vote can help minimize stress. Got a favorite grounding activity? Practice it while you wait in line. Ask a poll worker about secret voting. (Only if it’s safe for you to do so!) If you're voting with your abuser and worry they may force your vote, ask a poll worker if you can cast a secret ballot (if you feel safe doing so). Consider your vote-by-mail options. This can be especially helpful for survivors who have safety concerns about seeing an abuser at their polling place, or whose schedules don't allow them to vote on Election Day." The first graphic includes an illustration of three hands holding "vote" signs. All graphics include text reading: "NNEDV. org/SafeVoting" and the NNEDV logo, which logo consists of 66 small house shapes arranged in a large house shape, and text reading: "NNEDV National Network to End Domestic Violence."]
