SUMMARY:Start By Believing Training
DESCRIPTION:Sexual assault survivors often face disbelief and blame when they disclose their abuse. This is why End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) created Start by Believing (SBB)\, a global campaign challenging each of us to do better. In the 10 years since SBB was founded\, hundreds of communities have launched campaigns\, 8 states have issued formal proclamations\, and thousands of individuals have taken the personal pledge to Start by Believing when someone comes to them for help.\n\n \n Save the date! Florida NOW is hosting our very own Start By Believing training on April 7th at 1:00 PM EST. Special guest Alison Jones-Lockwood from EVAWI will be conducting this training.\n\n \nPlease register at https://forms.gle/3W11FMdvMGkRy4RS7\n\n \nThis training will equip our members to join a local Sexual Assault Response Team and act as “Start By Believing” facilitators\, with the goal of helping all law enforcement agencies in Florida to complete a Start By Believing training and take the pledge!\nTogether we can make sure all sexual assault victims in Florida are met with belief and support.

By the conference\, I hope every chapter has done a lot of endorsements of people\, especially women that support our issues. \nI hope all of you will consider a donation to the Conference to offset costs. \nThis is a very hard time for all of us with the disastrous decisions that the Supreme Court made\, particularly Overturning Roe v Wade. The solidarity we get at the Conference will be uplifting because we never give up\, we never go silent\, and we always have hope for the future. This fight will be a long one that we’ll fight until abortion is legal again. \nWe are looking forward to seeing and/or meeting you in-person on Sept 30th! \nTo reserve your room– \nReservations phone number: 800-588-4656 \nReservations email: reservations@thefloridahotelorlando.com \nTo register for the Conference– \nThe registration charge for the conference is $125 which includes the Friday evening candidate reception and the lunch on Saturday.
