Our Honorees:

• Toni Zollicoffer, Director, Fairfax Office of Domestic and Sexual Violence Services

As a member of the Statewide Advisory Committee on Sexual and Domestic Violence, Toni led a study group on partner abuse intervention and prevention. Recommendations from the study group have led to both local and statewide initiatives addressing the harm that takes place within intimate partner relationships through trauma-informed healing and accountability programs.

• Delegate Carrie Coyner (VA-62)

Since joining the House of Delegates in 2020, Del. Coyner has developed a strong reputation for working across the aisle on a number of issues impacting children, families, and survivors of sexual and domestic violence. In 2022, she worked to secure $9M in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) appropriations to maintain level funding for Virginia’s sexual and domestic violence crisis centers. She is a steadfast advocate, routinely organizing her colleagues in the House to recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and raise awareness about the power of preventing violence in our communities.

• Delegate Patrick Hope (VA-47)

Del. Hope has been a member of the House of Delegates since 2010, is a long-time friend of the Action Alliance, and a champion on sexual and domestic violence issues. Most recently, he worked alongside the Action Alliance, the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia, and sexual and domestic violence advocates to expand the Supreme Court’s successful Hope Card Program, allowing survivors who are granted final protective orders access to a wallet-sized card summarizing the order’s critical information.
