Our promises are the standards we hold ourselves to — in our advocacy, our partnerships, and our responsibility to those we serve.

Rooted in a promise, they are commitments we make every day, lived through action, not words.

Justice + Compassion

We promise to pursue truth and accountability while protecting the humanity of every survivor and family.

Dignity + Respect

We promise to ensure every voice is acknowledged, valued, and treated with honor.

Integrity + Courage

We promise to advocate with unwavering purpose grounded in responsibility and trust.

Community + Connection

We promise to build spaces, partnerships, and networks with justice partners so no one walks alone.

Hope + Support

We promise to stand with survivors — not just in crisis, but through the entire journey forward.

Our promises extend not only to survivors and families, but to the professionals who serve them — honoring collaboration, accountability, and shared responsibility.
