The Partnership and youth leaders from across California are proud to invite you to a rally encouraging us to work together to prevent and end teen dating violence, as well as support survivors. 1 in 3 youth experience teen dating violence, but prevention is seriously underfunded in California. These efforts require time and resources, which comes from crucial state funding. Our rally is all about creating solidarity with youth leaders as they educate legislators about the need behind this funding in 2023 and beyond.

Speakers:

Youth Leaders:

Ana Campos and Randi Zuckerman from Laura’s House
Amilia Cravens from Strong Hearted Native Women’s Coalition
Armaan Sharma from SAVE
Ashton Molendyk & Nicole Alvarez from One Love
Maya Henry from Peace Over Violence
