“Take a moment. Think back to why you started doing this work. Maybe you experienced abuse yourself or watched someone you love navigate it. Maybe it started as a job and became a calling. Whatever brought you here, something about this work matters deeply to you. It’s probably something about believing survivors, about empowerment, about the idea that no one should have to suffer abuse alone.” – Toby Fraser
We have reached the midpoint of the year. Across the United States, advocates and domestic violence programs have grappled with challenges and uncertainty, while continuing to show up for survivors with an inspiring tenacity. As we move into the second half of 2026, we invite you to reconnect with your “why.” What brought you to this work? Why do you continue to show up, day after difficult day? Here at NRCDV, we are proud to stand with survivors. Always.
