2 of our amazing Coalition team members have work anniversaries in February! #WorkAnniversary

February is Black History Month, and NJCEDV looks forward to spotlighting and honoring the Black leaders and activists who have charted the way for progress and transformation throughout history.

Every Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, we wear orange to show solidarity and raise awareness about dating violence. 🧡 Share your selfie wearing orange and write one quality of a healthy relationship. Tag us at @njcedv_ to be featured on our stories!

Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️🌹 We’re excited to share these Valentines for Advocates from @vsdvaa. Today, and every day, we send care and compassion to survivors, advocates, and all those who embody both.

Healthy friendships bring joy and growth to our lives, will listen to you, and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. Take a moment today to tell a healthy friend in your life how much you appreciate them. Take the quiz: loveisrespect.org/quiz/is-your-r…

Not all relationships are healthy—you deserve one that is. It’s important to understand what “healthy” looks like for each person, community, and individual relationship. Text “LOVEIS” to 22522 to speak with an advocate. #TDVAM

TDVAM is a national campaign aimed at raising awareness about teen dating violence—and how to prevent it.🧡 We hope you’ll join us by following and sharing our posts as we work to reach all communities! Check out our new Teen Dating Violence web page at njcedv.org/teen-dating-vi…

NJCEDV is filled with gratitude and joy! Our team and board came together for an end of year luncheon to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year. We are deeply grateful for this passionate group of leaders and are excited for all that 2025 has in store!

Today and every day, we believe survivors. They are the experts of their own lives. Believing survivors is the first step toward healing and justice. Survivors' voices matter and their experiences are valid. Let's create a world where every survivor is believed and uplifted.

CFNJ partnered with NJCEDV, RedRover, & Greater Good Charities to launch the Lindemann Legacy Fund. The goal of the grant is to ensure at least 1 DV shelter in all 21 NJ counties can house survivors & their pets. Grant: cfnj.org/grantopportuni… Podcast: cfnj.org/jerseygivesada…

Happy #PurpleThursday! Purple is the color of domestic violence awareness, and wearing it today unites survivors and advocates across the country in our collective work to end domestic violence. 💜

Monday, June 3rd, marks one year since the passing of our dear teammate and friend, I’Asia Gee-Azeez (she/her). We love her deeply, will remember her always, and will honor her life by practicing the wisdom and radical love she shared with us all. AsiaGeeAzeez.com 💜

On May 16th, 40+ advocates and NJCEDV staff from around the state gathered at the NJ State House to engage legislators and urge them to support additional funding for DV services in the FY25 Budget. 📢Urge legislators to support increased funding for DV services in the FY25!

Today is Denim Day! It's a day of action where people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. We wear our jeans with purpose to stand in solidarity with survivors and raise awareness about victim blaming and sexual violence.

NJCEDV is grateful to be part of this extraordinary event celebrating @hcdnnj and their 35 years of building strong communities. We're thankful for our community partners who are working to make our state a place everyone can afford to call home. Cheers to 35 years!

We are excited to introduce NJCEDV's new Co-Executive Directors, Adrienne (Simpkins) Gantz and Nicole Morella!
