SUMMARY:Directors' Forum- Values Based Messaging for Impact
DESCRIPTION:Directors’ Forum \nValues-Based Messaging for Impact \nThursday\, June 9\, 2022 \n2pm-4pm \nWe’ve all seen the explosion of bills in other states as well as in Virginia that scapegoat communities (e.g. anti-immigrant and “don’t say gay” bills)\, limit access to reproductive health options\, and bring forth a host of other outcomes that negatively impact survivors of sexual and domestic violence. \nThe work to end violence and the work to end oppression are one in the same; our work is by its very nature political and requires us to confront policies and messaging that promote division\, violence\, and oppression. \nAt the June 2022 Directors’ Forum\, the Action Alliance would like to introduce a proven messaging and organizing framework that counters divide and conquer politics and advances a worldview in which all of us thrive by weaving together race and class in its messaging. The Race Class Narrative builds cross-racial solidarity and promotes policies and approaches that serve us all and link shared economic prosperity directly to racial justice. Research consistently shows that speaking affirmatively about race strengthens our ability to mobilize people who care about our issues while challenging and undermining messages that feed on and stoke fear\, xenophobia\, and resentment. \nWe think that we can apply this framework to issues that impact survivors\, weaving gender-based violence prevention into the proven race class narrative messaging structure. We can both persuade and win hearts and minds when we employ messaging frameworks that work!

SUMMARY:Chat and Chew with our PES Team
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch and join the Action Alliance’s Project for the Empowerment of Survivors (PES) for an informal lunch conversation. PES provides advice and information on a variety of legal issues to survivors.  You’ll learn about the legal helpline\, PES services\, and how you can access these resources.  Advocates will have the chance to ask questions about the PES’ services and the process for accessing services. We also encourage you to come and share information about the trends you’re seeing in your local communities and jurisdictions. (Note: questions about specific individual survivors or situations should addressed separately with PES\, which can be contacted through the Statewide Hotline\, 800-838-8238.)  \nThis is also intended for any agency staff working with survivors who may have legal questions/concerns.
