What can average Californians do to end domestic violence? Check out some opportunities below (last updated 2/23):
Learn how to educate students on healthy relationships
One way to prevent domestic violence is by making sure that students learn about healthy relationships and how to spot the signs of teen dating violence. In California, it’s mandatory for school districts to teach this 7-12 graders. However, a recent audit found that some schools only complied with about 70-90% of the California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA).
Please join us at one of our webinars to make sure students in your area are being taught about healthy relationships.
Healthy Relationships: Know the Signs & How to Show Up for Your Community
February 24, 2026 5:00–6:00 PM PT
In this youth-led webinar, teens and community members will explore the realities of dating violence through firsthand stories and insights from youth leaders and a community educator. Together, we’ll discuss: How to recognize the signs of healthy, unhealthy, and abusive relationships, ways to safely support friends and peers who may be struggling, and why relationship and prevention education is a right for every student and belongs in classrooms.
Congress Must Act to Stop the Violence in Our Communities
Congress is currently negotiating the bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Congress must not provide additional funding for policies and violent tactics that push vulnerable survivors deeper into the shadows.
Our partners at Alliance for Immigrant Survivors have made it easy to send a message to your legislator.
