As we confront a rapidly changing world and the enduring crises of sexual assault and domestic violence, the future of our movement depends on innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. The Learning Community is a first-of-its-kind virtual training and collaboration space built by a national consortium of leaders in the anti-violence movement: BWJP, Esperanza United, VALOR, API-GBV, and The National Domestic Violence Hotline. This panel will explore how The Learning Community equips advocates, attorneys, and systems professionals with culturally specific, survivor-centered tools that address the realities of sexual assault and domestic violence while advancing both healing and systemic change. Learn how technology, partnership, and on-demand education are fueling a more accessible, collaborative, and sustainable future for our work.
