Our MissionThe Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance (Action Alliance), a diverse group of individuals and organizations, believes that ALL people have the right to a life free of sexual and domestic violence. We will use our diverse and collective voice to create a Virginia free from sexual and domestic violence—inspiring others to join and support values of equality, respect and shared power. We recognize that sexual and domestic violence are linked to other forms of oppression, which disproportionately affect women, children, and marginalized people. Understanding the great harm racism has created for individuals, families and our communities in Virginia, we commit to building within the coalition an anti-racist framework from which to address sexual and domestic violence.
