Welcome to our two-day virtual conference - (Re)Claiming Our Love: Social Justice & Domestic Violence.


Thank you for joining us in our mission to end society’s tolerance of domestic violence and social injustice at the second annual virtual conference, hosted by The Network - Advocating Against Domestic Violence.

This year, participants will have the opportunity to advance their understanding on models in the anti-violence and anti-oppression space that are focused on intersectionality, racial justice, abolition, decarceration and transformative justice to best serve survivors. 

Over the course of the two days, we’ll hear from activists, advocates and practitioners who are relentlessly using these approaches and models in their effort to create a violence-free world. 

The conference will center critical conversations on social justice and equity approaches and frameworks that directly influence interventions and solutions for domestic violence and other forms of violence. 

CEUs for ICDVP/CPAIP, LSW/LCSW, and LPC/LCPC will be provided for $13. Participants seeking CEUs must register and submit attendance by completing the session evaluation forms linked within each session. >> Register for CEUs HERE.

Seeing and Hearing Incarcerated Survivors of Gender-Based Violence
I would love to pass on some information to the attendees of the Look At Me session on Friday. I know there was a lot of interest in the chat about how to support incarcerated survivors, as well as supporting the panelists specifically. The panelists were truly moved by all of the support and love shown. All five of the panelists have current legal campaigns for their freedom, and supporters can help by coming to court, writing letters to stakeholders, and more. Here are a few other suggestions for people who want to get involved:

1. Sign up for the WJI mailing list to hear about upcoming events (including email events to survivors), donation drives, legislative efforts, and more. The link to sign up is http://eepurl.com/hvpK3n.

2. Donate to help us restart in-person visitation through the Reunification Ride, a program to bring children and caregivers to visit Logan and Decatur Correctional Centers. We hope to restart in time to celebrate Mother's Day. The rides have been halted since March of 2020, with most families not visiting since December of 2019. The link to donate is https://www.mightycause.com/story/Reunificationride2022.

3. Donate to support the WJI Survival Fund, which supports people inside of women's prisons, as well as formerly incarcerated women who have urgent needs. The link is https://gofund.me/d41f1f7a.

4. You can write to the five panelists via USPS. Please do not use any marker or crayon, stickers, glitter, or embossed paper. Their addresses are:

Lincoln, IL 62656
