Nat. Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV ~ 7:00 pm)

The organization below is a prime example of the reality of experienced violence of children in their own homes. Whether experienced directly or witnessed, household violence has a profound affect on America's children, sometimes leading to their deaths. Eight-year-old Jesse and four-year-old Tessa Jones died as a direct result of domestic violence. They're listed below under the NCADV's "Remember My Name-1999" memorial. These two young children are also likewise also listed for the construction of The Indiana Tenderness Trail. Although I have no article to verify it, "Jennifer Jones, Age 34, IN" listed above the two children, leads me to believe that they were murdered along with their mother.

Mission Statement and Purpose

The Mission of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence is to organize for collective power by advancing transformative work, thinking and leadership of communities and individuals working to end the violence in our lives.

NCADV believes violence against women and children results from the use of force or threat to achieve and maintain control over others in intimate relationships, and from societal abuse of power and domination in the forms of sexism, racism, homophobia, classism, anti-Semitism, able-bodyism, ageism and other oppressions. NCADV recognizes that the abuses of power in society foster battering by perpetuating conditions, which condone violence against women and children. Therefore, it is the mission of NCADV to work for major societal changes necessary to eliminate both personal and societal violence against all women and children.

NCADV's work includes coalition building at the local, state, regional and national levels; support for the provision of community-based, non-violent alternatives - such as safe home and shelter programs - for battered women and their children; public education and technical assistance; policy development and innovative legislation; focus on the leadership of NCADV's caucuses and task forces developed to represent the concerns of organizationally under represented groups; and efforts to eradicate social conditions which contribute to violence against women and children.
