Nominate an Advocate for CSVANW's August 2025 Advocate of the Month!
Every month, we take time to celebrate individuals whose heart and work shine in the movement to end violence against Native women, children, and communities. These advocates embody compassion, strength, and an unwavering commitment to their people. They lead with culture, uplift community, and walk in the values of kinship, healing, and tradition. Through their efforts in education, prevention, and support, they create lasting change and inspire others to follow their lead.

Community Advocacy Meeting
July 15, 2025 | Virtual
CSVANW will be holding our Community Advocacy Meetings where we will grow relationship with our Tribal Advocates in sharing resources, learning from presentations that aid in the work we do in community, as well as share updates on policies and events.
The impact these meetings will have for Tribal communities will enhance service delivery from Tribal Advocate Attendees. The relationships created between tribes and CSVANW, bridge the gaps of event support, information sharing, opportunities for PPE support, and training.
Advocates will have a safe virtual space to communicate barriers and find support from each other and CSVANW, without sharing confidential survivor-identifying information.
