Gender-based violence lives in society in various forms. It can look like limiting a woman's self-expression or identity. It can be seemingly minor comments that build up to become emotionally abusive. At Let Her Talk we hear racialized women's stories of emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and more all the time. These are stories that don't get taken seriously because the harm is hidden. It builds up and affects women's self identity and progression toward a successful, fulfilling life. That's why we create space for women and girls to express themselves and refuse silence. We want to let her talk it out and refuse to be treated in abusive ways.

As many of you know, Sojourner House launched a campaign early this year to fund the purchase of our gorgeous new Westminster Street property. This building (pictured below) houses the agency's Drop-In Center, which works to connect survivors of abuse with safe housing, emotional counseling, and life-saving supportive services. The Sojourner House Drop-In Advocacy & Resource Center is one of the only drop-in centers for survivors in the state, making it a vital resource for our community. To support this fundraising effort, the Champlin Foundation issued us a challenge: If we can raise $250,000 towards our capital campaign by 10/31, they'll double it. This gift would go a long way in helping us reach our goal, but the deadline is tomorrow and we still have money to raise. Can you help us meet the match? Click the link below to make a donation or pledge a future gift. https://lnkd.in/eqWxY5W6 If you’ve donated already, or have shared a post about our campaign efforts, please know how grateful we are for your support; and how honored we feel that you've decided to invest in our future. #rhodeisland #ri #providence #pvd #dvam #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth

Spotlight on Community Compassion! As the year draws to a close, we're inspired to shine a light on the outstanding efforts of United Way, particularly their latest endeavor – the Community Compassion Challenge. United Way's unwavering dedication to making a real difference in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin County is truly commendable. In these challenging times, their focus on crucial issues like homelessness among children, supporting ALICE families, and enhancing mental health services is more important than ever. How to Donate? Online Donations: The easiest way to contribute is through their online giving platform. Just visit https://buff.ly/3N5yn78 and follow the simple donation process. Mail a Check: If you prefer, you can also mail a check directly to United Way at their office address. Be sure to mention 'Community Compassion Challenge' in the memo line. In-Person Donations: Some local businesses and community centers might be hosting donation boxes for United Way. Dropping your contribution there is also a great way to help.

This is Jacqui, the Support Services Coordinator at Girikon's Client Organisation: Council of Single Mothers and Their Children (CSMC). Jacqui and her team provide single mothers with the specialist support and information that CSMC is known for. Now Jacqui is speaking out and asking for your help. CSMC's Support Line Workers say they have never had as much unmet demand as now, and the need has never been more acute. The need for support and information has always been high, but demand has skyrocketed due to the cost-of-living crisis. Single mothers who call CSMC's Support Line need help now, but the sheer volume of calls means that many are having to leave messages and wait for a callback. CSMC urgently needs to employ an additional part-time Support Worker to make sure single mother families in dire circumstances get the help they need: https://hubs.li/Q02zplf-0. #CSMC #EOFY #Donation #MakeChange #MakeChangeHappen #MakeADifference #NotForProfit #SupportWorker #SingleMothers
