Public Policy and Family Violence Prevention

Public Policy - from state funding for essential violence prevention services to laws protecting victims of abuse - profoundly impacts the lives of women, men and children struggling with family violence.

Every person can speak out so our elected officials know that family violence prevention is a priority for citizens across Minnesota and this great nation.

• Call, write or visit your elected officials in person to tell them that family violence prevention is important to you.
• Talk to your friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, civic club and faith community about the importance of family violence prevention.
