PREVENT
Drive Peace Home
Our temporary microsite helped boost pre-orders of the “Peace Begins at Home” license plates.
The Action Alliance is partnering with our member Sexual and Domestic Violence Agencies to establish the Building Healthy Futures Fund to create a funding source for prevention work in Virginia. The new “Peace Begins at Home” special license plate is the first initiative of the Building Healthy Futures Fund. This year, we created 4 spectacular short videos to promote the new license plate. Several of our colleagues’ smart and adorable kids were featured in the videos and each responded in their own brilliant ways to the question, “What does a healthy relationship look like?” Graphic artist Stefanie Lutz generously volunteered her time to design a new “Drive Peace Home” website to boost pre-orders.

Teen Summit
Approximately 100 teens (ages 13 to 19) and 30 chaperones attended our first Teen Summit March 24, 2012 in Richmond. Kimberly Booker, Executive Director and Founder of Alexander Lance Booker Child Safety Foundation, delivered the keynote address. Teens met in small groups to develop recommendations around the impact of community violence on teens and how teens can act as agents of change, followed by a listening panel of professionals that included the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, Senator Mark Herring (33rd District), Delegate Jennifer McClellan (71st District), and the Virginia Department of Health.
