You likely recognize their names. But do you know how they helped lead the sexual and domestic violence movement?

"Abolitionists worked tirelessly in the mid-19th century to bring public attention to the plight of the sexually assaulted on plantations."

"After Stonewall, DeLarverie remained prominent in activist circles," and "was known to lend her singing voice to fundraisers for victims of domestic violence."

"Following the events at Stonewall, [an uprising that fueled the LGBTQIA+ rights movement,] Johnson and her friend Sylvia Rivera co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) and they became fixtures in the community, helping homeless transgender youth."

"NNEDV commends the Senate for introducing a bipartisan VAWA reauthorization bill, calls on Senators to strengthen provisions advancing access to housing, and urges swift passage of a strong bill."

"Doorways and PathForward continue to do such great work in and for our community during these difficult times. I'm so thankful the donation from a caring constituent was made and thrilled to have played a role coordinating the delivery," Congressman Beyer said. "I truly value the character and compassion of our fellow residents serving those in need."
