Meet the VOICES Survivor Advocacy Committee!

VOICES is a survivor-led committee dedicated to centering the lived experiences, insight, and leadership of those impacted by domestic violence. VOICES works to advocate for change, shape programs and policies, and ensure that support systems truly reflect the needs of the people they serve.

Elevating survivor voices isn’t just important, it’s essential. When survivors lead, organizations become more informed, more compassionate, and more effective in creating safety, healing, and long‑term change.

The VOICES Survivor Advocacy Committee in Greene County is proud to host the upcoming screening of “It Ends With Us” to bring awareness to the dynamics of domestic violence, how it is portrayed in the media, and how lived experiences often differ from what we learn through popular culture.

Join us at Alamo Drafthouse on Sunday, June 7th at 2:30pm for this important event!
