By joining the Partnership, you become part of a mighty movement.

“Being a member means that I can be a part of this movement feeling secure in the knowledge that I have a fantastic support system of folks who listen, guide, and connect me to resources.” – Eydie Pasicel, WomenShelter of Long Beach

Together, We’re Stronger

Alongside our members and community supporters, we offer a large body of shared expertise and our collective advocacy makes an impact – in just the past year The Partnership has:

• Developed tools for members so that they can do more impactful work, including a toolkit on Increasing Safety & Reducing Gun Violence in California

• Co-sponsored two bills signed into law that will reduce evictions of survivors & ensure our homelessness system better incorporates survivors into goals and outcomes, focusing more resources on their needs & reducing the frequency and length of homelessness.

• Developed a project for resource sharing, collaboration meetings, webinars, and one-on-one coaching sessions for cohort members of the “Black, Indigenous & People of Color Leadership Project: Re-writing our Stories, Re-Imagining new Paths Project.”

• Expanded our work with journalists across the state to deepen the conversation about domestic violence and share solutions to domestic violence by conducting media advocacy trainings for advocates, preventionists, and survivors. 

California has a mighty movement dedicated to ending domestic violence in our state—and it’s further strengthened when social justice leaders across issue areas and California communities join us. If you share our vision of a California full of healthy, respectful relationships, we invite you to take action alongside our network of over 1,000 advocates, organizations and allied individuals throughout the state.
