we deserve better project

The anti-violence field is full of passionate and dedicated workers who are committed to creating safer communities and supporting survivors. As a team of anti-violence workers, we know of many advocates who are struggling or leaving their organizations because of mistreatment, unhealthy work environments, and lack of support—we’ve experienced it, too. Together, we decided to do something about it—to be the change we hoped for and continue to need.

We Deserve Better has become shorthand for our collective work and a call to action
