Announcement:
We are thrilled to share that after many years of advocating for a specialized domestic violence court in Allen County, we are a part of the planning team for the new DV court. It is an honor to work alongside other stakeholders under the expert guidance and leadership of Judge Morgan. This marks the beginning of a survivor-centered, community-coordinated response to domestic and family violence that our judicial system has needed. Learn more.
In Solidarity:
We are devastated by the loss of gender-affirming healthcare for minors in Indiana with the recent signing into law of Senate Bill 480. We remain committed to supporting and advocating for the rights of all individuals, regardless of their age, gender, or sexuality. We believe everyone has the right to make their own decisions about their bodies and their lives, without fear of discrimination or persecution. Read more.
Many Thanks:
We are bursting with gratitude for the amazing support from Mancino's on Coliseum! Your generous donation of several pizzas and discounted rates for more made our FACES Nonviolent Leadership graduation parties unforgettable. This was our first time working with you and we were blown away by your kindness and care.
And to everyone who donated, THANK YOU! Your generosity exceeded our fundraising goal and allowed us to not only afford the pizzas but also cupcakes for the parties. Your support empowers and encourages our young leaders and we couldn't be more grateful. Together, we made these parties an absolute success!
