The Domestic Violence Awareness Project: #1Thing

The Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) developed a unified message around #1Thing. Change can start with only #1Thing. One person’s actions may seem insignificant, but together a communities’ collective “#1Things” can lead to real social transformation.

When we work together and each do #1Thing to prevent youth relationship violence and foster healthy relationships and communities, real social change is possible.

• The #1Thing that will end domestic violence is our collective power.
• Healing from domestic violence requires our collective One Things.
• We can all do #1Thing towards eradicating domestic violence.
• Sharing our stories can have a ripple effect and can inspire others to action.
• Our collective One Things are valuable for systems advocacy.
• #1Thing offers the community tangible ways to get involved in the effort to end domestic violence.

#DVAM2021 No Survivor Justice without Racial Justice

“For #DVAM2021 we are turning up the heat on our 2020 theme, No Survivor Justice Without Racial Justice. Domestic violence is linked to all forms of violence.

This October and beyond, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) calls on the domestic violence movement to center, celebrate, and follow the leadership of Black survivors, leaders, advocates and frontline workers.”
