NRCDV’s mission is to strengthen and transform efforts to end domestic violence.
About us
For over 25 years the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) has worked to strengthen the capacity of programs responding to domestic violence victims and their families by promoting effective public policy, institutional response and research, and engagement in prevention. NRCDV was established in 1993 with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). NRCDV operated as a national project housed within the structure of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) until spinning off as an independent organization in 2011. Today, through key initiatives and special projects, NRCDV works with many other organizations and partners who bring various expertise's, backgrounds, and perspectives, to improve community response to domestic violence and, ultimately, prevent its occurrence. NRCDV focuses on working through comprehensive technical assistance, training, resource development. Together these three strategies and our key initiatives help us to facilitate a deeper focus on a particular issue or population. NRCDV’s project goals, objectives, approaches and activities are developed in response to feedback from the field and analysis of over 60,000 requests for assistance.

Today we mourn for our trans siblings who have been killed in 2024 and in years past. As we stand against the transphobia, transmisogynoir, and other forms of oppression that harm our trans loved ones, we also celebrate the beauty, joy, and resilience of trans communities. Today and always, we envision a world free from violence and oppression for all. Artwork created by Micah Bazant as part of Forward Together's Trans Day of Resilience project.

Today, tomorrow, in the coming weeks, months, and years, NRCDV stands with survivors. We stand against white supremacy, patriarchy, imperialism, colonialism, and all systems of oppression and violence that operate to harm our communities. NRCDV’s Patty Branco reminds us that “the truth is: we cannot change the world without a foundation of love. And love must show up as *action* in the world.” This week and always, NRCDV remains committed to showing up with love as action for survivors, for advocates, and for our communities.

With the election just a few days away, here are some voting safety planning strategies for survivors from our friends at NNEDV!
#ElectionDay is just a few weeks away! If you're a domestic violence survivor, or an advocate working with survivors, it's never too early to start thinking about a safety plan for casting a ballot. Keep reading: https://bit.ly/46Zg0cI [Image description: Seven graphics with text reading: "Safe voting tips for domestic violence survivors. Vote when your abuser is busy. If you're worried about running into your abuser at your polling place, think about their schedule and try to pick a time when you think they may be busy. Ask a friend to support you. Even if your friend can't be with you in-person, they can stay in touch via text while you vote. Know a neighbor who's voting? See if they're willing to head to the polls together. Research so you can vote quickly. Planning how you're going to vote for can save you time at your polling place, especially if you have concerns about seeing your abuser while you vote. Practice self-care before and after voting. Planning a fun or relaxing activity around your vote can help minimize stress. Got a favorite grounding activity? Practice it while you wait in line. Ask a poll worker about secret voting. (Only if it’s safe for you to do so!) If you're voting with your abuser and worry they may force your vote, ask a poll worker if you can cast a secret ballot (if you feel safe doing so). Consider your vote-by-mail options. This can be especially helpful for survivors who have safety concerns about seeing an abuser at their polling place, or whose schedules don't allow them to vote on Election Day." The first graphic includes an illustration of three hands holding "vote" signs. All graphics include text reading: "NNEDV. org/SafeVoting" and the NNEDV logo, which logo consists of 66 small house shapes arranged in a large house shape, and text reading: "NNEDV National Network to End Domestic Violence."]
