CPEDV’s Public Policy Initiative

CPEDV is a leader in the effort to create and influence California legislation that affects the lives of domestic violence survivors and their children.  CPEDV's members work closely with our Policy team to develop a legislative agenda by analyzing the impact of legislation, writing letters of support and opposition, testifying at hearings, and working behind the scenes to encourage legislation that helps survivors of domestic violence, and stop the bills that jeopardize their safety. Read CPEDV's 2009 Session Legislative Summary.
