Telling Stories of Survival: The Value of Domestic Violence Advocacy in Minnesota​
​
In 2024, Violence Free Minnesota set out to highlight the essential work of domestic violence advocacy. Collaborating with Writing to Wholeness, we hosted creative writing workshops with Minnesotans closest to the issue: survivors of violence, community partners who work with advocacy programs, and advocates themselves. Eleven themes emerged from the writing of forty workshop participants. These are their stories, in their own words.
