NNEDV’s Statement on Recent Executive Orders

The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) recognizes that recent executive orders have sent shockwaves across the country, creating confusion and concern for many and threatening the safety and stability of our most vulnerable communities. These policies disproportionately impact marginalized communities – including people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and their families – and deepen barriers to safety and justice.

For survivors of domestic violence, the consequences are particularly alarming. At NNEDV, we are steadfast in our commitment to protecting and empowering survivors, even in the face of these challenges. Our work is guided by a vision of safety, dignity, and equity for all, and we remain resolute in advocating for the needs of those who have been silenced or marginalized. With our national partners and colleagues, we want to provide an overview of how some of these executive orders could potentially impact survivors. Link to full article here.
