Intimate partner and domestic violence affect thousands across the DC region each year. DC SAFE reports more than 32,000 domestic violence-related police calls annually, with survivors facing major barriers to safety, housing, and trauma‑informed care.

From September 14-18, 2026, JLW members will wear the same black dress/outfit for five days to raise awareness and funds for JLW’s Community Assistance Fund Grants, which award up to $5,000 to DC‑area nonprofits supporting survivors’ critical needs.

Every donation makes a difference. Help us reach our goal of $40,000 goal—eight Community Assistance Fund Grants—during this week‑long campaign. Your contribution directly supports DC‑area nonprofits and the survivors they serve.
