Become an Advocate

44 Hour Advocacy Training

Two out of three Californians have either experienced domestic violence directly or through a close friend or family member. That number is likely higher in Black communities. By becoming a domestic violence advocate, you can help end domestic violence. Through our 44-hour advocacy training, you will gain the knowledge, communication skills, and awareness to help end domestic violence in Black communities. You can help protect our entire community through your advocacy.

Education & Training

Black Women Revolt Against DV continues to influence policy as we advocate on behalf of survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. We are proud of our work to co-sponsor SB1228 last year in conjunction with Senator Scott Wiener and Former District Attorney, Chesa Boudin.

This bill was passed in May 2022. Rape Survivors DNA Kits aka S.A.R.T. Kits will no longer be used against them for prosecution in unrelated criminal cases. This law assures that one of the most intimate and horrific exams will remain confidential and its findings will exclusively be used to identify and prosecute the survivors attacker.
