Statement from La Casa de las Madres Standing Against Racist Violence, and Supporting the C.R.I.S.E.S Act
La Casa de las Madres believes all people deserve to build their lives free from abuse and fear. We believe all forms of violence are connected, and that speaking out against discrimination and structural racism is a central part of the work we do to support survivors of domestic violence everyday.
When we stand in solidarity with black leaders and communities closest to the harm, we build a world in which calls for accountability and safety for all people are the norm.
This is why we support the C.R.I.S.E.S Act -- a piece of legislation that builds capacity for community-based responses to violence and creates more opportunities for survivors of domestic violence and our most vulnerable community members. To learn more about the C.R.I.S.E.S Act, click here.
When we uplift survivors, center opportunities to heal, and seek out justice as a community, we are creating a culture in which violence of all forms no longer can exist.
