WCASA and End Abuse support Embrace, and we urge others to do the same. We invite you to join us in supporting, following the lead of, and directing resources towards BIPOC-led organizations as we seek to transform oppressive systems that inequitably fail and harm survivors.

End Abuse has been tracking domestic violence homicides for the last 20 years. In the 18th edition of our Annual Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report, we include a summary report on 2019 domestic violence homicides, as well as a review of 20 years of coalition data collection on domestic violence homicide in Wisconsin.

Our 5th Annual Soar Above fundraiser will be our first ever non-event, a virtual fundraising day in conjunction with the release of the 20th Anniversary edition of our Annual Homicide Report and as a gateway to Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. We invite you to stay home & support our work - because in 2020, the best way to show up is to stay home.

WCASA and End Abuse uphold the ‘Moment of Truth’ letter of acknowledgement and intention, created and affirmed by several coalitions across the country. This statement has been released on behalf of the signatories to several national partners. As coalitions, we will use the letter as a catalyst for discussions within our membership; guidance for our policy initiatives and community building actions; and a blueprint for how we conceive of our work.

End Abuse demands justice for George Floyd. We oppose state-sanctioned violence and call on Minnesota law enforcement to arrest and charge all four police officers who murdered Mr. Floyd as he pled with them, his last words: “Please, I can’t breathe…Everything hurts. They’re going to kill me.” Arrest them NOW!

Mother's Day is May 10, 2020. However, for many moms in WI, this will not be a day of celebration. In addition to COVID-19, we are seeing another public health crisis where domestic abuse is “flourishing in the conditions created by the pandemic.” Your donation will support our work with mothers in abusive homes so they can receive the services they need to thrive.

During this unprecedented time, the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA) and End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin (End Abuse) want survivors to know that sexual assault and domestic abuse service providers in the state remain open.

On the April 7th ballot, there is a special referendum question on whether or not you would like to see a change in the state constitution relating to victims’ rights, otherwise known as Marsy's Law. As we endeavor to center the last survivor in our work, End Abuse has decided to oppose Marsy’s Law.

This is an unprecedented time, and we know that home is not the safest place for everyone. We have compiled resources to help domestic violence advocates, victims, and survivors stay safe, informed, & connected during this time. This space will continually update, so check back for new resources.

End Abuse is postponing or cancelling all in-person events through May 2020 as a precaution while the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.
