All social justice movements are interconnected. 🌏 Fighting for survivor justice (this #SAAM2021 and always) means that we also prioritize racial justice, economic justice, reproductive justice, immigrant justice, health justice… you name it.

#1Thing we are grateful for this #SAAM2021 is care. Community care. Self care. #Care4Advocates. 💞 We know that change is possible; we know that healing is possible; we know that care is central to these things.

Our #1Thing campaign applies to #SAAM2021. We know that we can end violence if, together, we all do #1Thing to support survivors and create healthy and thriving communities every day. 💙 Check out #1Thing resources for advocates at DVawareness.org.
