IN 2020, YOUR SUPPORT CHANGED LIVES

2020 was a year that none of us could have predicted.

It showed us the best and the worst that society has to offer. Our community was deeply shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased attention to long-standing racial inequities, and the need for our services reached tragic levels.

This need remains significant. With your support, DCVLP stands ready and able to ensure that each person in the District of Columbia is entitled to a life free from violence and abuse. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you – our longtime supporters and our new friends.

GET READY FOR #BENEFIT21!

At our Annual Benefit, you will hear from Congresswoman Katie Porter, Singer/Songwriter Brenda Russell, and many incredible DCVLP clients, staff, and supporters. It is sure to be a meaningful evening as we recognize the five Founding Members of our Law Firm Sustaining Circle and we honor Steptoe & Johnson LLP as our Pro Bono Partner of the year for their incredible commitment to DCVLP and our community. ⭐️

We have gathered everything you need to have an amazing evening at home!
