Domestic Violence Survivors in Pursuit of Freedom: The Fight for Justice in America

Join us Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. ET for a special screening of “Beyond Survival”, followed by a panel discussion with domestic violence survivors and advocates from Women on the Rise in Georgia and the Survivors Justice Project in New York.

Register here.

Beyond Survival is a new, feature-length documentary sharing the story of the New York Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act, the 10-year campaign to make it law, and its impact on incarcerated survivors of domestic violence.

Following the film, we will hear directly from survivors and advocates with Survivors Justice Project (New York) and Women on the Rise (Georgia). They will share the impact of the recent successful campaigns in Georgia and New York to change state sentencing laws and get domestic violence survivors out of prison. They will also share how you can support this vital effort and be part of making a positive change for incarcerated women who have survived abuse.

Panelists are:

JUDITH CLARK, director of the Survivors Justice Project
ROBYN HASAN-SIMPSON, executive director of Women on the Rise GA
TAMMARA MCCOY, survivors outreach specialist with the Survivors Justice Project
