Update: NCCADV Statement in Support of Protests
Update: Statement in Support of Protests - June 4, 2020
The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence's Statement in Support of Protests (PDF).
The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence is outraged by and grieving the recent murders and violence against Black people in America. As we watch the list of individual names of Black victims grow, we know that we are called in this moment to speak out against the systemic racism that underlies the violence, to support the groundswell of protests in response to these killings, and to stand on the side of justice in our work as an agency. As an organization committed to ending violence, we cannot work to end some forms of violence while standing by and watching as violence against entire communities goes unchecked. We grieve with the families of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Tony McDade, Atatiana Jefferson, David McAtee, Marcus Deon Smith, Tasharra Thomas, Eugene Harston, Gilbert Barber, Darryl Howerton, Jonathan Ferrell, Keith Lamont Scott, Lavante Biggs, and countless other people whose names we will never know.

Updates: NCCADV Night of Safety Fund
Update: NCCADV Night of Safety Fund - April 23, 2020
The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCCADV) has launched the ‘A Night of Safety’ Fund to address the surging cost of providing shelter to survivors caused by COVID19. The organization is seeking community support to raise $25,000 to pay for Coronavirus-related costs which include purchasing hotel rooms and prepaid cell phones to provide safety while social distancing.
This emerging health crisis continues to disrupt the daily lives of individuals living with abusive partners. These disruptions have catastrophic consequences, including increasing tensions at home, decreasing privacy and personal space, increasing opportunities for manipulation, and decreasing opportunities to connect with loved ones face-to-face. Despite the efforts of NCCADV and Domestic Violence Service Providers across the state, there is no doubt that for many survivors, the situation is dire.
