Public Policy Work

MCEDV strives to bring survivors’ voices to discussions of public policy to center our solutions on those most impacted by abuse. To create a world free from domestic abuse and violence, we need to foster a society that values the whole of people’s lives, recognizes complexity, and understands how abuse intersects with peoples’ entire lived experiences, including safety, health, work, parenting, and overall well-being.

In our public policy work, we seek to…

• Advocate for policies, programs, and funding that will make survivors safer.  
• Foster accountability and change for people who abuse. 
• Advance economic justice. 
• Support reproductive rights.
• Work on behalf of children impacted by abuse.
• Expand access to healthcare. 
• Support all survivors.
