DV LEAP Letter to Washington DC Commission on Climate Change and Resiliency
On December 7, 2020 DV LEAP has sent a letter to the Washington DC Commission on Climate Change and Resiliency asking them to issue a statement acknowledging the impact climate change has on domestic violence.
Specifically, how this will effect the District and it's population.
We are asking them to collaborate with DV LEAP to be a champion for survivors.

Current laws and policies in most jurisdictions address domestic violence and climate change. Few laws or policies, however, recognize the intersection of these two issues. Even fewer empower survivors to be involved in the process of addressing this growing reality. Click here to read a document that provides an overview of opportunities to develop thoughtful law and policy in the District that addresses this intersection moving forward.
