We’re proud to recognize Naomy Erazo, NORA’s Mental Health Advocate, as our 2026 Advocate of the Year! ✨

Naomy’s work is rooted in compassion, empathy, and creating a space where survivors feel safe, heard, and supported during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

One of the most meaningful reminders of her impact came when a survivor told her, “I feel safe with you. I feel comfortable with you.” For Naomy, those words reflect what advocacy is truly about—being present, building trust, and meeting survivors with humanity and care.

Through her work at NORA, Naomy has grown both personally and professionally, and her passion for standing alongside survivors continues to deepen.

For Naomy, the advocacy continues—and it will always be met with compassion, love, and empathy.

Join us as we honor Naomy at NORA’s 45th Anniversary Gala, A Night at the Louvre, on November 14, 2026.

We’re proud to recognize Roger Clarke and the Ruhnau Clarke Architects team as NORA’s 2026 Community Partner of the Year! ✨

For more than 10 years, Ruhnau Clarke Architects has stood alongside NORA in support of survivors and families in our community. Their generosity has helped strengthen critical services, including NORA’s 24/7 response and survivor bags that provide clothing, comfort items, and other essentials during some of the most difficult moments a survivor may face.

Roger’s connection to NORA deepened after attending his first gala and hearing survivors share their experiences. Since then, he and the Ruhnau Clarke Architects team have continued to show up, give generously, and champion NORA’s mission.

We are grateful for more than a decade of partnership and are honored to celebrate them at A Night at the Louvre on November 14, 2026.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

At NORA, we stand with survivors, families, and communities impacted by domestic violence. Every survivor deserves to feel heard, believed, supported, and safe.

Throughout the month, we will continue raising awareness, sharing resources, and reminding our community that support is available. Whether someone is experiencing abuse now, navigating healing after abuse, or supporting someone they care about—you are not alone.

NORA provides confidential support, advocacy, crisis intervention, safety planning, referrals, and connection to additional resources.

Together, we can build communities where survivors are supported and violence is never normalized.

💜 Believe survivors.
💜 Share resources.
💜 Start conversations.
💜 Help build safer communities.

In light of the recent allegations involving Cornell University, NORA stands in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence.

Every survivor deserves safety, compassion, and access to support. As this matter continues through the appropriate legal process, we remain committed to advocating for survivor-centered, trauma-informed communities where people feel safe coming forward and seeking help.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, NORA is here to provide confidential support, advocacy, and resources.

Behind the Name: Why A Night at the Louvre? 🖼️✨

The Louvre is known for preserving and honoring some of the world’s most treasured works of art.

At NORA, we believe survivors deserve that same care, dignity, and reverence. Their courage, resilience, and healing are worthy of being seen, honored, and protected.

This November, A Night at the Louvre invites our community to gather in support of survivors and the critical services that help create pathways to hope and healing.
