How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Equity-Centered Organizing Through Inclusive Structuresmethodology: anti-oppressionBy embedding anti-oppression principles and creating task forces for marginalized communities, the coalition ensures that advocacy and services are inclusive and transformative because equitable systems must actively challenge dominant power structures and center historically excluded voices.
- Prevention Through Primary and Cultural Changemethodology: primary_preventionBy focusing on primary prevention and shifting cultural norms around domestic violence, the coalition aims to stop violence before it occurs because long-term reduction in intimate partner violence requires transforming societal attitudes and addressing root causes.
- Systemic Advocacy Through Coalition Infrastructuremethodology: systemic-advocacy-through-coalitionBy building the capacity of member programs and integrating their collective input into policy advocacy, the coalition amplifies survivor-centered, equitable responses to domestic violence at the state level because systemic change is most effective when driven by grassroots expertise and unified representation.
