National Prevention Town Hall 2020 Breakout Session 1B: Centering our Work on Survivors’ and Communities’ Needs & Leadership by Listening to the Needs of Black Women

In September 2020, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence held its first National Prevention Town Hall to connect storytellers, advocates, and activists as we pivot our intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention work in response to the racial inequities that COVID has laid bare, especially for Black individuals and communities across the country. Participants explored meaningful relationship building with communities across states, sectors, and social justice movements.

In this session, presenters Cecily Johnson and Timike Boyd Jones highlight their work to center the needs and experiences of Black women across the state of Indiana, offering key lessons learned and action steps.
