3 Membership Benefits DCCADV seeks to advance the anti-domestic violence movement in metropolitan Washington, DC, promote awareness of emerging standards and best practices in the anti-domestic violence field, and provide innovative services for the education and professional development of its members. The Coalition offers the following specific benefits to members, as resources allow: Discounts on registration fees for DCCADV bi-annual conference (to include training workshops, information about best practices, networking opportunities) Training and technical assistance on emerging domestic violence issues, general non-profit issues, and policy advocacy Promotion of members and help raising their visibility with a wide variety of audiences Assistance in developing collaborative relationships and partnerships Media and communications support The Coalition recognizes the leadership and expertise of its members in the community and will facilitate opportunities for members to lead trainings and provide technical assistance to other members. The Coalition will also recruit national and local experts for various trainings. In addition to these specific benefits, many DCCADV activities will benefit the broader domestic violence community, regardless of whether an organization or individual is a member. For example, the Coalition will implement a policy/advocacy agenda that individual organizations may not have the resources to implement on their own. It will also carry out public awareness campaigns to raise awareness about domestic violence issues. It will continue to make information about domestic violence trends and issues, pending legislation, etc., available through its website and communications venues. DCCADV membership has three tiers: Primary Purpose Domestic Violence Organizations - organizations whose mission is to support survivors of domestic violence and their families Ally Organizations organizations whose work intersects with and impacts survivors and their families or who have a domestic violence component to their work Supporters corporations, entities, agencies, government agencies and individuals who actively support our work 3

6 DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence Mission and Guiding Principles Vision Statement We envision living in a violence-free city and community where there is equality, safety, justice and peace. Mission Statement DCCADV s mission is to build a community where domestic violence is replaced with human dignity. We advance our mission through advocacy, community education, outreach, public policy, technical assistance and training, resource sharing and research. Guiding Principles 1. Respect and Dignity. We are dedicated to promoting equality, respect, and dignity among all people. We value all survivors, ourselves, and each other and support the people we serve. 2. Social Justice. We demand that all people live free from violence, economic deprivation, discrimination, and prejudice. We are dedicated to the inclusion and active participation of individuals and groups that have traditionally and historically been devalued or excluded. 3. Trauma-Informed. We see each individual we serve and those that we work with through a trauma-informed lens. Trauma-informed means we recognize and respond to the effects of all types of trauma a person has experienced at any point in their lifetime. We are flexible in our policies and practices and embrace safety, collaboration, and trustworthiness. 4. Cultural Competency. We honor the uniqueness of every individual we serve and allow for differences. We honor culture, tradition, religion, age and sexual orientation and identity. Examples include the elderly, people of color, the LGBTQ community, people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities, immigrants, and those living in poverty. 5. Confidentiality. We honor confidentiality and each person s right to decide who knows their story. We safeguard and respect the privacy of all the people we support; individuals, families, and service providers. 6. Self Agency. We are committed to ensuring quality services for victims, survivors, and their children. We, therefore, are committed to empowering all people with 6
7 the freedoms and choices to be self-sustaining with fundamental human rights, especially victims and survivors of domestic violence. 7. Survivor Centered Supports. We honor each individual survivor and fully support their needs and decisions. As advocates, our allegiance is the person we support, all other activities and functions we perform flow from this allegiance. We assist people to direct the course of their own lives; survivors make, act on, and take responsibilities for their own decisions. 8. Accessibility. We recognize that domestic violence has devastating effects on all victims but that some face additional and unique barriers to safety. We advocate for justice, inclusion, and full community participation, removing barriers, real or perceived, to encourage participation. The Coalition believes the special needs of these populations must be considered in the development, outreach, and delivery of victim services. 9. Accountability. We believe that all people should have an active voice in the policies and practices that affect them. We are committed to ensuring that the voices, opinions, and concerns of victims, survivors and their children constantly guide and inform our work. We believe that everyone must work together to affect a coordinated community response for there to be a successful shift in societal attitudes and beliefs about domestic violence. 10. Self Care. We advocate for practices that help the people we serve and our staff feel connected and supported. We are committed to each individual s sense of belonging and value and recognize autonomy while being attentive to vicarious trauma, re-victimization, and burn out. 7
