NO MORE Summit 2015 We Have a DREAM…a World Without Violence Presented by National Women’s Coalition Against Violence & Exploitation www.NWCAVE.org ~ www.NoMoreSummit.org About Us The National Women’s Coalition Against Violence & Exploitation (NWCAVE) is a volunteer operated national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the pacific northwest of the United States of America. We continue working to inform, educate and prevent violence and exploitation against women and children nationally and internationally. Whether human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual violence, stalking, bullying, hate crimes and all other forms of violence and exploitation against women and children, NWCAVE strives to keep the public informed and educated on how we can live in a more civilized society free of violence. In order to achieve our mission and objectives we collaborate with other organizations, businesses, the public and media to continue to inform, educate and help prevent violence and exploitation in our local communities and throughout the world. A few of our National Partners include The Joyful Heart Foundation’s No More Campaign, V- Day’s One Billion Rising and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s Take 25 Campaign. Together, with their support, NWCAVE welcomes you to our No More Summit and we thank you for saying NO MORE too! National Partners www.take25.org www.onebillionrising.org www.nomore.org NWCAVE's No More Summit 2015 About the Campaigns What is NO MORE? NO MORE is a unifying public awareness and engagement campaign focused on ending domestic violence and sexual assault. Using its signature blue symbol to increase visibility and foster greater dialogue, NO MORE seeks to break social stigma, normalize the conversation around domestic violence and sexual assault, and increase resources to address these urgent issues. NO MORE is aligned with hundreds of organizations working at the local, state and national levels on prevention, advocacy, and services for survivors. www.NoMore.org ONE BILLION RISING is a global call to women survivors of violence and those who love them to gather safely in community outside places where they are entitled to justice – courthouses, police stations, government offices, school administration buildings, work places, sites of environmental injustice, military courts, embassies, places of worship, homes, or simply public gathering places where women deserve to feel safe but too often do not. It is a call to survivors to break the silence and release their stories – politically, spiritually, outrageously – through art, dance, marches, ritual, song, spoken word, testimonies and whatever way feels right. www.onebillionrising.org Take 25 is a campaign created by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) that asks families, educators, law-enforcement officers and trusted adults to take 25 minutes to talk to children about safety. Created in honor of National Missing Children’s Day which is annually recognized on May 25th, Take 25 helps educate communities on safety risks and ways to better protect the children in their lives. During the months of April and May, communities are invited to join NCMEC in this grassroots effort by promoting ongoing safety conversations between children and their families. www.take25.org NWCAVE's No More Summit 2015 NO MORE Summit Attendee - General Information January 17, 2015 at the Hilton Hotel – 7:30am to 5pm 301 West 6th Street, Vancouver, WA 98660 (USA) Dress: Suggested dress for the day is Business Casual.
