Our mission is to amplify the voices & wisdom of sexual violence victims/survivors, prevention advocates and leaders rooted in culturally centered communities
Through storytelling, somatic theater and indigenous teachings, The Ripple Project training and programs center on the lived experiences of survivors. Our focus is uplifting the experiences of people and groups that have been historically “othered”, including biracial and multiracial people; people of the global majority; LGBTQ2S+; people who have been displaced by violence or war and those experiencing poverty.
Who Are People of the Global Majority and Why It Matters
Services are available to organizations, institutions, and community groups to support & enhance sexual assault services and prevention strategies based in culturally centered wisdom.

Join us for the reformation of
COMMUNITY VOICES ADVISORY NETWORK
Through the 90’s and early part of the 21st century, Washington State earned a reputation as leaders in the anti-sexual violence field across the nation thanks to the leadership of the Community Voices Advisory Board. Today, efforts are underway to reform Community Voices to include a network of advocates, community organizers and leaders who are serving and organizing communities of youth and adults who are immigrant, refugee, homeless, living with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+, Indigenous, Black and other members of the Global Majority, and with restricted access to resources.
