Through These Doors

Juneteenth honors the day in 1865 when enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not an anniversary — it’s an ongoing commitment.

At Through These Doors, we know that the fight to end domestic abuse is inseparable from the fight against racism. Today marks a day to commemorate the momentous work of Black activists and leaders that lead to the abolishment of slavery. It is also a time to recognize the ongoing activism that continues today, challenging the many systems that embody the remnants of slavery and restrict access to freedom. The domestic violence movement would not be where it is today without the anti-racism movements that work to provide everyone with a life without violence.

Today and everyday, we honor the strength and resilience of survivor parents. Parenting through and after abuse takes courage. Survivor parents make powerful choices to create safety, healing and hope for themselves and their children.

At Through These Doors, we walk alongside them-- providing support, advocacy, and resources every step of the way.
