Black communities of faith around the Puget Sound are engaging in intense and impressive community organizing to address domestic and sexual violence within a context of faith.

If you are interested in BPP organizers making a presentation or organizing a discussion group about domestic or sexual violence with your church, please contact us.

We currently work with the following wonderful local resources who are doing work in Black faith communities to end domestic and sexual violence:

Project MIC

Its mission is to educate church leaders of multi-cultural churches on domestic and youth violence, sexual assault, and substance abuse prevention and awareness. It also provides effective responses to victims, survivors, and perpetrators of violence.
