An Austin, TX nonprofit working to stop abuse for everyone through direct services, prevention, advocacy, and training.
About us
The SAFE Alliance is a Central Texas nonprofit organization working to stop abuse for everyone. SAFE supports children, adults, and families who have experienced abuse by providing safety, stability, and healing. To more effectively put an end to child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and sex trafficking, SAFE provides shelter, counseling, legal assistance, sexual assault forensic exams, supervised visitation and exchange services, and more. In addition to direct services, SAFE works to prevent violence before it occurs through parenting assistance and education, programs that promote healthy teen relationships, and working with communities disproportionately affected by abuse. Violence and abuse are a cycle, often transferred across generations. We work to break that cycle. Central Texans may know our work in its iterations through different names and mergers over the past 50 years we've served survivors of violence and abuse. Today, we are known as SAFE - a national leader in innovative and effective programs that provide a sense of safety, dignity, and hope for survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, sex trafficking, and domestic violence in Central Texas. With an annual budget of more than $20 million, more than 350 employees and thousands of volunteers, SAFE now has prevention and crisis programs operating across multiple campuses and in the schools, hospitals, courts, county and District Attorney’s offices. NEED HELP? SAFEline is a 24-hour confidential hotline for people seeking help with sexual or domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, or parenting support and is available by phone at 512.267.SAFE (7233), by text at 737.888.7233, or by online chat at safeaustin.org/chat.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, it wasn't until two and a half years later that all enslaved people in the United States were finally freed. This day stands as a powerful reminder of the long and ongoing struggle for freedom and equality in our country. To honor Juneteenth, SAFE’s Black and African American Staff Taskforce hosted a Juneteenth Jubilee! This Jubilee was a gathering of joy, community, and celebration in honor of the freedom of all African Americans. Staff enjoyed great food, beautiful performances, and a wonderful moment to share culture. Celebrate beyond Juneteenth by adding some great reads to your summer reading list! Thanks again to the staff who shared their picks: • Critical Race Theory, The Key Writings that Formed the Movement • The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois • How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? By N.K. Jemisin • On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed • Night Wherever We Go by Tracey Rose Peyton • I Can’t Wait to Call You My Wife by Rita Roberts • Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho
