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:Violence Prevention in Action ECHO (open Clinic)
DESCRIPTION:Project ECHO uses Zoom\, the teleconferencing software\, to connect professionals from multiple locations to present challenging cases to each other\, gather feedback and recommendations\, and to discuss new developments and best practices.

In this ECHO program\, prevention staff at local sexual and domestic violence agencies present challenging cases to each other\, gather feedback and recommendations\, and discuss new developments and best practices for primary prevention.\n\nThis isn’t another passive webinar! We use Zoom so that you can see each other and communicate in real-time. Come prepared to ask questions\, make recommendations\, and connect with other sexual and domestic violence agency staff across Virginia.\n\nPlease register using the ZOOM link.

SUMMARY:ReStoryation\, BIPOC Advocates
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 2 years\, we have all navigated significant and sometimes overwhelming crises. As advocates\, that has meant responding to the needs of survivors in addition to caring for ourselves\, our families\, and others who are dear to us. What we’ve come to know as normal has changed. Whether the past 2 or so years has brought us sorrow\, fear\, joy\, new opportunities\, grief\, overwhelm\, new beginnings\, or a combination of all of the above…it has brought change to all of us. \nWhen life puts us through challenges\, nature can help us make sense of what is happening and guide us through. Nature tells stories of trauma\, healing\, and regeneration. Learning from nature and using story can help us remember\, process\, and integrate our experiences. \nWe can look to the story of mycelium that spreads across the forest floor and underground to create a network. Or to the root system of trees that go deep and wide to communicate to other trees around them how to find resources and avoid threats. These systems depend on the health and needs of the collective so that the whole system can thrive. \nWe invite you to reconnect with advocates across the state through the practice of storytelling. Much like mycelium\, we hope this space will foster connection and restoration through storytelling\, art\, food\, and community. The past 2 and a half years have made many of us feel isolated\, but the truth is that we are still very much connected\, we just need the space to find that again.
