📊 Understanding the Impact 📊 This #CAPMonth, let's look at the numbers: Over 650,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment in the US last year, and this is likely an underestimate. Behind these numbers are real children facing real challenges. But there's hope – through our collective efforts, we can make a difference. Initiatives like Digital Advocacy Day, Wearing Blue Day, and donations to PCAA play a crucial role. These actions strengthen our fight against child abuse and neglect, ensuring every child has the chance to grow up in a safe, loving environment.

Like last week, I had to record right after meeting with my business coach because I had another revelation about how New Coyote's growth path will go. It is a given that the bare minimum to work with us is a commitment to equity, but I’m starting to realize that more than that. I need a commitment to impact. It’s all well and good to have principles that mimic centering marginalized people, but when you have a real chance to change not only the reality of your population, but the ways that they’re being harmed overall, do you get brave and give up on the status quo in order to lean into liberation and create real change for the people you serve? Or do you push out the radicals who are creating this change in order to turn a blind eye to the reality that we could be living in? Dr. Nicole Truesdell talks about bringing competence to incompetent spaces. This phenomenon occurs where people who do not know how to serve our populations hire us for our marginalized identity and our lived experience, and then fire us when it turns out we actually do this work better than they do. People in power are frequently unwilling to skill up or learn new strategies because that would imply that the current strategies they are using are not good enough - which we already know is true, based on the continuing reality for marginalized people in this world. To combat this phenomenon and create something that l strongly feel will significantly impact this industry and this region, I decided to convene an (invite-only) braintrust of people who I’ve personally worked with, who I know for a fact have been pushed out of incompetent spaces for their higher level of competence. I don’t know yet know what it's going to be or the impact we will have, but I’m certain that it’s gonna be amazing.

It’s a 2 days after the election and you’re still feeling the pain of your candiate losing try doing one or two of the following (it'll become infectious). 1. find a soup kitchen to volunteer at 2. Go to a center for child abuse and ask how can you help 3. Take an inventory of everything in your kitchen that you know you're not going to eat and donate it to a food bank because someone else will 4. While you're at it take an inventory of the nice clothes you won't wear again and donate them to the Salvation Army 5. Go to your local elementary school and ask to help kids that can't read 6. Go to a community center and help them manage kids that come in after school. 7. There's a Diaper Alliance near you. Find it and go in and just help them package diapers for families that can't afford one 8. Find the homeless shelter near you, you'd be amazed at the contribution you can make that doesn't cost money giving people hope. 9. Volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity site. Get your hands dirty and know that you did something so cool as building a home for someone that deserves it. 10. How about a hospice center, a senior citizens home where you can donate time and books and magazines and a smile. A simple smile that those on their way to a better place can take with them. You show the winners of the campaign who really won; you did. Your community did. The world did.

No child should have to flee their home to escape family violence, but there was no other option for five-year-old Adam and his little brother Zayne.  When the violence went from bad to worse, their mum knew that the only way for them to be safe was to leave. But escaping their violent home was just the beginning of the story.     The consequences of exposure to family violence can have a lasting impact on the development and wellbeing of children. WAGEC’s Helping Children Heal program seeks to mitigate the harm caused by family violence by meeting the developmental, emotional and social needs of children in refuge and outreach.     Adam and Zayne’s story is not an uncommon, but it's one with an ending you have the power to change if you act now. Demand for WAGEC’s services is growing, and we have no choice but to turn some people away. With your support, WAGEC can continue to help children like them heal and recover from family violence.     Donate now to build a brighter future for children like Adam and Zayne.

Earlier this week we shared a video showing a project that is helping women and children fleeing domestic abuse to rebuild confidence and gain a sense of freedom. Sustrans has teamed up with housing provider Stonewater and volunteers to offer bicycles, cycling and bike maintenance sessions to families living in a refuge, enabling them to travel actively and reestablish independence. Described as a “tool for change”, the project – assisted by donations of bikes – has helped women and children affected by domestic abuse to rebuild their lives and find feelings of joy and hope in the wake of trauma.
