This third webinar of the Racial &; Economic Equity for Survivors Project (REEP) will ask: What racial, gender, and cultural biases and other systemic barriers are survivors facing? And what innovative responses can we utilize? Women of Color Network, Inc. and Casa de Esperanza will engage in dialogue with webinar participants on these questions, with the goal of: addressing racial and economic biases and other systemic barriers facing immigrant and indigenous survivors and survivors of color.
Drawing upon contemporary issues of immigration detention, language access, and over-incarceration, faculty will lift up a holistic framework and offer strategic advocacy responses from national technical assistance and grassroots perspectives. Mapping frameworks and bringing dynamic data, experiences, and practical strategies and resources, faculty will distill key gems for our collective work to address the racial and other structural and institutional barriers that obstruct access to economic stability and safety for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Webinar participants will walk away:
- Energized and enabled to foster holistic and intersectional responses that honor survivors' lives in context.
- Being able to identify racial, cultural, and systemic barriers and their impact on survivors' economic security.
- With a deepened understanding of the impact of policies, institutions, and historical oppression on survivors and our communities.
- With greater awareness of tools, resources, and strategies that can help advocates address these issues in their communities.

The Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance has been striving to conduct its work from a racial justice lens for more than 15 years, and has been evolving its practices as it learns. Action Alliance staff member Kate McCord will describe the catalyst to this work and offer specific examples of how the Action Alliance's racial justice lens is reflected in its internal policies and external practices. Kate will share specific examples of how values of racial equity and inclusion are reflected in Action Alliance internal policies, such as through personnel policies, staff development and governance and decision-making. Kate will also describe the Action Alliance's outward-facing work to name and dismantle systemic racial oppression and white supremacy via its communications, policy, technical assistance, training, prevention, and awareness, and will highlight lessons learned in the process.

Deadline: May 11, 2017
Although many systems exist to respond to child and youth victimization issues, these systems often fail to communicate and collaborate effectively to get to the root of the problem.
The competitively awarded state-level demonstration sites will bring all of the relevant systems and professionals together to establish a coordinated approach. This approach will ensure that every child entering these systems is assessed for victimization, that children and their families are provided comprehensive and coordinated services to fully address their needs, and that practices and policies are established to sustain this approach long term.
The project will be conducted in two phases-Ph
ase 1: Planning (15 months) and Phase 2: Implementation (5 years).
OVC expects to make up to two awards of up to $500,000 each through this demonstration initiative.
Apply by May 11, 2017
