As we close out #LatinxHeritageMonth, we’re excited to highlight the incredible work of Mujeres Unidas y Activas — an organization transforming lives and empowering immigrant women in Alameda and San Francisco counties. Mujeres Unidas y Activas (MUA) is part of a multigenerational cohort working to end domestic violence, focusing on root causes and protective factors unique to families of color. This approach is powerful because it’s grounded in the lived experiences of survivors, building a future where women lead with strength, survivors heal with dignity, and families thrive across generations. Thank you, MUA, for leading the way toward a safer, more just future. Let’s keep showing up for the Latinx community—this month and every day.

The way a journalist tells the story matters. Reporting on domestic violence can either reinforce harmful stereotypes or drive meaningful change. Journalists hold the power to shape how society views and addresses this issue, and solutions-oriented, comprehensive coverage is key to fostering understanding and inspiring action. The Journalist Playbook provides the tools, strategies, and terminology needed to cover domestic violence with accuracy, empathy, and impact. https://lnkd.in/gQwAzMvu #JournalistPlaybook #LetsEndDV #ChangeTheConversation #DVAM2024

Domestic violence is everywhere, but it’s not inevitable. It can be healed and prevented, and we all have a role to play. To change how society views domestic violence, we first need to change how it’s reported. Too often, media coverage sensationalizes high-profile cases, causing harm and overlooking the broader issue. But journalists have the power to shift this narrative. Solutions-based reporting can protect survivors, elevate solutions, and help end domestic violence. Learn more about how journalists and communities are working together through the new Journalist Playbook and let’s change the conversation together. #JournalistPlaybook #LetsEndDV #ChangeTheConversation #DVAM2024 https://lnkd.in/dqkBpYme
