About our program
Move To End Violence ended in 2022. The program was a time-limited initiative focused on transformative leadership development and building critical mass for the U.S. movement to end violence against all trans* and cis girls and women and those who are gender non-conforming. To help build the capacity of this movement, MEV’s program focused on conversations, explorations, training, and practice in convenings with movement makers, in regional workshop offerings, and online in the 5 areas called our “core elements”.

Our program's
core elements
Movement
Building
We can’t achieve true social change without working collaboratively to leverage our collective power. We worked with Movement Makers, their organizations and allies to develop a shared vision of the world we are trying to create and foster a deep sense of inter-connectedness.
Organizational
Development
We worked with Movement Makers and their organizations to help identify their strengths and their most powerful contribution within the context of a movement ecosystem and to set a path for increasing their organization’s capacity to effectively engage in social change work.
Transformative
Leadership
Building movements for social change requires powerful leaders who are purpose-centered, adaptive, and able to hold complexity across systems. Through training and leadership coaching, we helped Movement Makers articulate and connect with their leadership purpose and core strengths.
Gender
Justice
Gender-based violence is a manifestation of patriarchy, misogyny, transphobia, and homophobia. It is interpersonal, institutional, and systemic. Our commitment to gender justice is to disrupt both the gender hierarchy and the gender binary, and to lift up intersections with racial justice, economic justice, and disability justice.
Healing
Justice
As said by Cara Page, “Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically response to and intervene on intergenerational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our collective bodies, hearts, and minds.”
Disability
Justice
Empowering the people most impacted by ableism requires ongoing and intentional reflection on our practices and language to ensure that they are accessible, are trauma informed, and centered on healing justice. For us, this looks like proactively asking what people need to fully participate, prioritizing wellness and safety, and disrupting supremacist ideas of normativity and productivity.
Language
Justice
Language justice calls us to disrupt colonization, to challenge Western dominance, and to break down the ways injustice silences, erases, and dehumanizes us. It calls us to create spaces where all people are welcomed to communicate in the languages and accents that they feel most comfortable and whole.
Racial
Justice
The practice of deepening our historical understanding of our own identities and how they are related to other people’s identities in the context of gender-based violence is deemed a liberatory practice. This exercise centers us as the authors of our narratives, allows for multiple truths to exist, and acknowledges our intersecting identities and experiences.
