Only 3% stated it made things much better. Additionally\, over 1 in 3 survivors stated they have not asked for help for fear of mandated reporting. \n\n\n\nWe must take seriously the harms of mandatory reporting practices on survivors\, especially those most impacted such as youth\, BIPOC\, and LGBTQ+ survivors. Our collective work requires upholding survivor self-determination. \n\n\n\nWe are honored to be a sponsor of the upcoming book launch of How to End Family Policing: From Outrage to Action (Haymarket).

Advocates gather from all over Washington to meet in person with their lawmakers and rally for housing justice. \n\n\n\nNo past experience is required! Our team of legislative district leads will guide you through the day\, and you’ll be invited to short trainings over Zoom before HHAD to get briefed on the bills we are supporting and how to effectively talk with lawmakers. \n\n\n\nHHAD is hosted by the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance and the Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund\, and has strong presence and leadership from people directly impacted by housing injustice\, including through the Resident Action Project. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nThe Housing Alliance does not organize transportation for HHAD\, but if you aren’t able to catch a ride through one of the above transportation options\, you can connect with other HHAD attendees to self-organize carpools here. \n\n\n\nThis form will ask you for your State Legislative District number. This helps us put you in the right group for lawmaker meetings. Look it up at https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder and make a mental note of your State Legislative District number (not your Congressional District number). Most people register with the legislative district where they live\, but you can also use the legislative district where you work if you prefer.  \n\n\n\nRegistering a big group? If you’re bringing 10 people or more\, save some time by using our group registration form. If your group is smaller than 10\, please register individually.  \n\n\n\nASL and Spanish interpretation will be provided during check-in\, at the rally\, in lawmaker meetings\, and at the virtual prep sessions before HHAD. Please let us know if you will use ASL or Spanish interpretation so we can be sure your specific lawmaker meetings have an interpreter.  \n\n\n\nOur friends at Waters Meet Action Fund are generously providing two buses to HHAD from Eastern and Central Washington as well as box dinners for the ride home. Riders can board in Spokane\, Moses Lake\, or Ellensburg. Wheelchair spaces are available. Sign up here for a free spot on the bus.  URL:https://endgv.org/event/housing-homelessness-advocacy-day/ LOCATION:State Capitol\, Olympia\, 416 Sid Snyder Ave SW\, Olympia\, Washington\, 98504 CATEGORIES:Community Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://endgv.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Screenshot-2025-11-04-at-5.07.45-PM-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260126T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260127T170000 DTSTAMP:20260107T175858Z CREATED:20260107T175730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260107T175858Z UID:5548-1769432400-1769533200@endgv.org SUMMARY:Survivor's Advocacy Day DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault\, Children’s Advocacy Centers of Washington\, and the Sexual Assault Working Group \n\n\n\nJoin us in Olympia for a powerful two-day advocacy event where domestic violence\, sexual assault and child advocacy leaders unite to take action for survivors. \n\n\n\nViolence anywhere hurts communities everywhere.
