Beyond Violence: Survivor Healing and Reclaiming Our Stories
Beyond Violence: Survivor Healing and Reclaiming Our Stories
April 3, 2024 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Register here.
It's perhaps a surprise to no one that American media is obsessed with violence- we see the sexual violence we are so familiar with as survivors sensationalized and reproduced as entertainment. But these stories do not capture what survivorship is. We, as survivors and advocates, know what survivorship is, from violence to surviving to living.
For Sexual Assault Awareness Month, JDI is so excited to bring together some of our favorite writers, m. mick powell and Olivia Gatwood to push up against dominant sensationalist narratives that perpetuate oppressive beliefs and minimizes survivors' healing and agency.
Who gets to be seen as a survivor? Which violences deserve our collective outrage? What stories do we get when we listen to survivors?
Join us on April 3rd for poetry readings by m/ mick powell and Olivia Gatwood, facilitated conversation, and audience Q/A.
This event will be recorded! ASL & CART are confirmed!

Using Data and Analytics to Identify Prolific Violent Offenders: Lessons Learned from the Cuyahoga County (OH) Prosecutor’s Office’s Crime Strategies Unit
Using Data and Analytics to Identify Prolific Violent Offenders: Lessons Learned from the Cuyahoga County (OH) Prosecutor’s Office’s Crime Strategies Unit
April 11, 2024 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Register here.
Cuyahoga County is home to Cleveland, Ohio and experiences a violent crime rate that is almost four times the national average. The County includes over 50 law enforcement agencies, and given that violent crime in the county is not confined to a single municipality, it's essential for law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to share data about violent offenders. This webinar will highlight how the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office (CCPO) identified and prioritized investigation and prosecution of the county’s most prolific offenders—especially those connected to firearm-related crimes. Rachel Lovell and Ryan Bokoch will discuss the creation and validation of the CCPO’s Crime Strategy Unit’s priority criteria, the characteristics of the county’s most violent offenders, and the social network and spatial analyses used to identify links between people, places, and violent gun crimes. Specifically, they will explain how to use incident-based criteria, as opposed to criteria based on individual characteristics, to identify violent crime drivers, and they will discuss how investigators and prosecutors can use such information to triage cases more effectively and efficiently.

Economic and Consumer Rights for Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence
Economic and Consumer Rights for Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence
April 19, 2024 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
Immigrant survivors of domestic violence contend with numerous challenges– from adjusting to a foreign country, to dependent immigration status or lack of immigration status, to ineligibility for public assistance or fear of accessing public services due to the persistent chilling effect of the “public charge rule.” New to this country, many immigrant survivors lack an understanding of the US credit and financial system, making them particularly vulnerable to economic abuse and coerced debt. As a result, immigrant survivors face deep economic and consumer rights needs that are in need of creative, culturally relevant advocacy.
At this roundtable we will:
- Examine the landscape of economic and consumer issues facing immigrant survivors.
- Share and lift up innovative advocacy strategies (legal and nonlegal) to help immigrant survivors address their economic and consumer needs.
- Build partnerships that are expansive and increase access to services and economic resources for immigrant survivors.

Listening Session on FEMA Individual Assistance Program Reforms
Listening Session on FEMA Individual Assistance Program Reforms
April 23, 2024 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Register here.
On January 19, 2024, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced that FEMA is reforming its federal assistance policies and expanding benefits for disaster survivors to cut red tape, provide funds faster, and give people more flexibility.
With the increased frequency of extreme weather events fueled by climate change, these updates will provide survivors with faster and easier access to resources they need after disasters. FEMA developed these new forms of assistance based on direct feedback from survivors and in response to threats the nation faces due to our changing climate. They will create more equitable outcomes for all communities by increasing accessibility and eligibility for post-disaster support.
As you work to provide services and support to older adults and people with disabilities, ACL and the FEMA Office of Disability Integration and Coordination (ODIC) invite you to participate in a listening session to better understand how these reforms will impact your communities.

Victims in abusive relationships can experience immense psychological and technological warfare when offenders employ various tactics such as the use of applications, social media, and cell phones to stalk, cyberstalk, and harass their victims.

Geared toward strengthening and propelling law enforcement investigative strategies, this webinar provides a case-specific walk-through of cyberstalking, stalking, violation of protective orders, and roadblocks from car manufacturers and other corporations. Detective Downey will also discuss hints and tips to champion through the investigation process for your victim to obtain justice and protection despite current challenges.
