💜 Please join us at the State House TODAY! 💜

Community Advocacy Day is TOMORROW.💜

On Tuesday, May 26 at 3PM, we’re gathering at the Rhode Island State House Library to advocate for policies that support survivor safety, dignity, housing stability, and autonomy.

For survivors of domestic violence, housing is more than a basic need. It can be a pathway to safety, healing, and freedom.

Tomorrow, we show up together.

Housing is safety. Advocacy is power.

📍 RI State House Library, Second Floor
🗓 Tuesday, May 26

Wear purple. Raise your voice. Stand with survivors.

Our hearts are with the family, friends, and loved ones of Terry Costello as they grieve this tragic loss of life in Newport. We hold all those impacted in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Every loss of life leaves a ripple through families, communities, and loved ones. Moments like these remind us of the importance of compassion, connection, and ensuring that people have access to support and care when they need it most.

If you or someone you know is in need of support, confidential help is available 24/7 through the statewide Helpline at 1-800-494-8100 or via online chat at ricadv.org.

💐 Honor your mother, a mother you love, or another special person this Mother’s Day with a meaningful tribute that helps provide safety and support for survivors of domestic violence.

🌷 Domestic violence often happens behind closed doors, and not everyone has a safe sanctuary for themselves and their children. Your donation to the Women’s Resource Center directly supports survivors on their journeys toward safety, hope and healing.

🦋 Celebrate the strength of the women you love by helping someone rebuild theirs.
