Calling on youth leaders. The Partnership is excited to host another year of our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)!

We’re looking for six youth ages 14–19 who want to help shape how California promotes healthy relationships in the age of technology and AI while uplifting authentic youth voices.

🔸How do young people maintain authentic human connection in an AI-driven world?

Technology and artificial intelligence are changing the ways young people connect, communicate, learn, create, and build relationships. AI can offer new ways to express, solve problems, and find information. At the same time, it raises new questions about what it means to have authentic human connection. Through the Youth Advisory Board, we will listen to young people's experiences, ideas, and perspectives on healthy relationships, technology, AI, and authentic human connection.

This is an opportunity to:
🔸Connect and collaborate with youth from across California
🔸Bring your creativity and ideas to the table
🔸Help shape a campaign focused on healthy relationships and technology
🔸Create messaging that can reach youth, parents, and social media and digital citizens

Youth selected for the YAB will receive a $300 gift card in recognition of their time and leadership.

Your voice matters. Your ideas can help shape the future of prevention in California!

How do young people maintain authentic human connection in an AI-driven world? Join our listening session to help us answer this question and more we develop our Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month Campaign! This February, we’ll focus our campaign on healthy relationships and artificial intelligence, because new technology is changing the ways young people connect, communicate, learn, create, and build relationships. From youth asking chatbots questions about relationships to being in relationships with chatbots themselves, there are major implications for our work as preventionists.

October 13 from 4-5 p.m.

In our movement, the commitment to supporting survivors is unwavering, but sustaining that dedication requires us to fiercely protect our own well-being, too. As advocates, staff, and allies at domestic violence organizations, we carry heavy work, which means our self-care and community care practices aren't just “extras”— they are essential to our collective survival and resilience.

Whether you are looking for fresh strategies to prevent burnout, wanting to deepen your organization's collective care model, or simply needing a reminder to pause, we invite you to explore these workshops at the conference.

Let's keep building a movement where we can all thrive, heal, and sustain our vital work together.

En nuestro movimiento, el compromiso de apoyar a las personas sobrevivientes es firme; sin embargo, mantener esa dedicación exige que protejamos con determinación nuestro propio bienestar. Como defensores, defensoras y aliados de organizaciones dedicadas a combatir la violencia doméstica, llevamos a cabo una labor ardua; por ello, nuestras prácticas de autocuidado y cuidado comunitario no son simplemente “extras”, sino elementos esenciales para nuestra supervivencia y resiliencia colectivas.

Ya sea que busque nuevas estrategias para prevenir el agotamiento profesional, profundizar en el modelo de cuidado colectivo de su organización o simplemente necesite un recordatorio para hacer una pausa, le invitamos a explorar estos talleres de la conferencia. Sigamos construyendo un movimiento donde todos podamos prosperar, sanar y sostener juntos nuestra labor vital.

📣 Update on our DOJ lawsuit: VICTORY!

ValorUS and the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence are thrilled that, earlier today, the federal court rejected the administrations unlawful attempt to weaponize funding from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. This final decision safeguards survivors seeking services and the advocates who support them, regardless of their identity or immigration status.

We are running out of time and we need your help.

Since its establishment in 1995, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has transformed how our nation responds to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. OVW’s funding, training, and federal leadership help communities protect survivors and hold people who harm accountable.

There’s still so much more work to be done — and we want to do it. That’s why we need you to help us keep OVW the strong, independent agency that Congress created. Please call your representatives today to oppose this administration’s plan to collapse OVW into other offices.

The Crime Victims Fund (CVF) is the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Yet today, the CVF is dangerously low, putting critical, lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk.

Communities are already feeling the impact. Programs have been forced to reduce services, lay off staff, and, in some cases, close their doors entirely. Without immediate action, communities will feel less safe, and more survivors will be left without the support they need to heal, rebuild their lives, and get back to work.

The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act ( ) offers a bipartisan, commonsense solution to stabilize the CVF using non-taxpayer dollars, ensuring continuity of services while Congress works toward a long-term fix.

The House unanimously passed the bill, and now, it’s time for the Senate to do the same! Senator Adam Schiff and Senator Alex Padilla : pass the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act now. Survivors can’t afford to wait!

Survivors of domestic violence are particularly at risk of becoming homeless in California—so why aren’t our gubernatorial candidates including them in their plans? Jennifer Willover, the Partnership’s Housing Policy Analyst, urges the next Governor of California to prioritize survivors, who comprise 20% of all people experiencing homelessness in our state.

True healing and prevention happen from the ground up and are strengthened by community-led approaches, yet systemic barriers often leave survivors facing system barriers, isolated and/or disconnected from traditional resources. That’s why we’re diving deeply into community-led strategies that center the leadership and expertise of those most impacted by domestic and gender-based violence.
