Calling all hotline advocates, legal advocates, shelter advocates, bilingual advocates, prevention advocates, directors, and all those who support domestic violence survivors! We are so excited to invite you to our annual conference, September 23-24 in Yakima, WA!

Join us as we journey through the roots of our movement, envision our path ahead, and explore the heart of our work: supporting survivors, cultivating community, and honoring our histories. Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or new to the field, you have a place in this movement. Through learning, connection, workshops, and inspiring speakers, we’ll reflect on what drives us, what sustains us, and how we can continue to show up for survivors and each other.

Our conference will feature a range of speakers, workshops, and sessions on a variety of topics, including advocacy skills, policy, prevention, connection, and more. Stay tuned for announcements about our lineup of speakers and workshop topics!

Will COVID-19 vaccinations be required?
No, we will not be requiring COVID-19 vaccinations this year. To keep our community as safe as possible, we encourage everyone to take a rapid test before you arrive, and again before you return to work after the conference. We’re asking everyone to mask as much as possible. COVID is surging and we need your help to gather across the state as safely as possible and return folks to your communities with minimal risk! We’ll have lots of self-testing kits available throughout the conference too.

What should I do if I am having cold or COVID symptoms?
Follow the Department of Health guidelines, test for COVID-19, and stay home. We will refund all registrations for folks who have to cancel last-minute due to illness.
