April + May Newsletter
To the teen being told their sexuality is only a phase,
We believe you!
To the wife sexually assaulted by her husband,
We believe you!
To the person who has used violence and is ready to change,
We believe you!
To the child afraid to speak up about their parent’s neglect,
We believe you!
To the survivor of domestic violence ready to share their story for the first time,
We believe you!
“We believe you!” Simple but powerful, those three words deeply reflect what we do here at the Center for Nonviolence. We make space. Space for people to change, space for people to learn, space for people to celebrate who they are.
From the young leaders learning nonviolence in our school and community-based FACES Nonviolent Leadership Program to the Latina domestic violence survivors in our Mujeres Unidas support group, our trauma-informed and culturally affirming care promotes a lifestyle based on love, truth, and community.
By modeling equality and power-sharing to generations of program participants, our daily work has been and continues to be ending violence and oppression here in Fort Wayne and as far as our services can reach. We do this through our empowering, equity-focused curriculum and by actively making space for every individual to feel safe, supported, and respected— because where these conditions exist, people and communities thrive.
TOMORROW, April 21st, the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne is hosting the Give Greater Allen County day of giving. This is an opportunity for you to believe in us by supporting our work.
With matching opportunities starting as early as 7 am and going all throughout the day until 7 pm, we hope to reach our goal of $2,500! Please help us spread the word. Every dollar has the potential to go further during this one-day giving event so #GiveGreater. Thank you!
