October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As you may know, instances of domestic violence, including domestic abuse-related deaths, are increasing while financial investments in support for survivors--both locally and federally--continues to decrease. Our partners are continuing to find ways to serve more survivors with less resources, but they shouldn’t have to.

This month, consider making a donation to Mayor John Ewing's Domestic Violence Community Response Fund. All donations will be equally distributed amongst local, service providers. 💜 bit.ly/Mayor-Ewing-Community-Response-Fund

Ballot initiatives are how Nebraskans make their voices heard directly. Through this process, voters have passed policies like raising the minimum wage and earned paid sick leave for hardworking Nebraskans. And while we are disappointed we won’t have the opportunity to strengthen ballot initiatives this election, there is an important measure that deserves your attention.

❌Vote “AGAINST” Measure 442 because in Nebraska, fairness is for all.

This ballot measure would limit the participation of trans athletes in sports in Nebraska across all levels of play, add discrimination in our state’s constitution and target an already marginalized group. Additionally, these laws open the door to intrusive physical exams into the bodies of all athletes in women’s sports.Exclusion is never good policy.

A steady and fair paycheck. A place to live that doesn’t eat half your income. Health care you can actually access when you need it. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re joining Nebraska Coalition To End Sexual And Domestic Violence to take a closer look at how economic factors like these impact survivors and violence prevention.��

Join us on Thursday, October 29, at noon for “Investing in Safety: How Economic Stability Prevents Violence.” We’ll share findings from our recent Unequal Plains research, discuss how current economic conditions affect Nebraskans’ risk of experiencing violence and survivors’ pathways to safety. Finally, we’ll explore how we can build communities where all Nebraskans are safe and thriving.

October 1 marked the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. With an increase in domestic violence locally, including domestic abuse-related deaths across our state, funding for domestic violence services locally is critical. So, we’re teaming up with Omaha Mayor John Ewing this month to raise funds for local domestic violence organizations.

Organizations who will receive an equal portion of the funds include:
💜 Black & Pink
💜 Center for Holistic Development
💜 Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement (CIRA)
💜 Heartland Family Service
💜 International Council on Immigrants and Refugees (ICRI)
💜 Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition
💜 RISE
💜 Women’s Center for Advancement (WCA)
💜 YouTurn

Donate to Mayor Ewing’s Domestic Violence Community Response Fund in support of survivors at https://bit.ly/Mayor-Ewing-Community-Response-Fund. It’s on all of us to prevent and end domestic violence in our communities.

Mayor John Ewing recently announced a city-wide campaign meant to support survivors of domestic violence and educate the community on how to respond to an issue that officials said has claimed four Omaha lives so far this year.

What a night at Power of Us: Rock the Resistance! 🎸✨ We came together to celebrate music, community and the radical power of joy. Every song, smile, scream and shared moment reminded us that joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s an act of resistance. ❤️✊ Let's carry this energy forward to the upcoming election.
