Happy Black History Month! Throughout this month, we’re honoring some of the Black advocates and survivors who have shaped the anti–sexual violence movement by spotlighting readings and materials created by Black and BIPOC women. Today, we are recommending Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. Swipe to learn more about these amazing works!

We invite you to explore these texts and other works we’ll be featuring this month. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is available for free from many online sources, such as Project Gutenberg. Black women have long been at the forefront of social justice efforts for marginalized communities, and their works continue to offer fresh insight and instruction for how to build a world free from oppressive systems that harm people based on their race, gender, and other identities.

Have you read either of these? How did they help you understand the connection between racism and sexual violence? Let us know in the comments below!

Content warning: These materials have themes and explicit depictions of gender-based and racial violence. No details are depicted in this post.

Earlier this week, our Deputy Director Christina Lee (pictured far right in red) was one of 150 advocates taking action for victim-survivors during the 2026 Survivor Advocacy Day. Every year, community sexual assault programs and domestic violence organizations from across Washington State join forces to show up for survivors and urge legislators to fund crime victim services. Pictured with her are our wonderful partners at Our Sisters' House .

As federal funding for advocacy programs continues to decline nationwide, state budget decisions are more critical than ever in ensuring victim-survivors can access the resources and support they need. We encourage you to read the article, “WA Crime Victim Orgs Call for State Help as Falling Federal Funding Has Them at a ‘Breaking Point,’” published by InvestigateWest. The article features survivor advocate Sara Owens (pictured in the second image) from Beyond Survival as well as many others of Rebuilding Hope’s peer agencies, highlighting the ongoing struggle to secure sustainable funding for community-based advocacy and support services.

A huge thank you to Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Children's Advocacy Centers of Washington for co-hosting and giving advocates a platform to fight for victim-survivors at a state level.

Last weekend, students from Annie Wright Schools in Tacoma visited our office as a part of their annual Community Day. Every year around MLK Day, the Annie Wright community rallies to support community organizations, and this year, they partnered with Rebuilding Hope! In the months leading up to Community Day, they hosted a supplies drive to support our Street Outreach. Then, last weekend, they delivered, organized, and assembled the supplies so they’re ready to reach community members across Pierce County with basic needs support and connection to Rebuilding Hope’s services. They restocked our supplies just when we were running out and the weather turned especially cold!

The group also stayed for a presentation from our team on our resources, mandatory reporting, healthy relationships, and building a culture centered on consent. Pictured in the last slide is some art for our building the students created with their commitments for how they will practice healthy relationships and build a safer community.

Thank you so much to the students, parents, staff, and faculty who donated, volunteered, and took time out of their weekend to learn about our programs and services! We can’t wait to partner again, Annie Wright!

Last month, special guest and Prevention Advocate Rachel Sedgwick joined our monthly board meeting as a staff spotlight. She shared how she uses prevention education to strengthen our role as partners in ending sexual violence. All across Pierce and Kitsap county, Rachel facilitates interactive workshops and gives age-appropriate presentations to youth K-12 and college students and staff. She meets youth where they are—in classrooms, after-school programs, and community spaces—and also connects with victim-survivors during hospital calls, through our 24/7 Helpline, and as a facilitator for our survivor support groups. Her work creates space for meaningful conversations about safety, boundaries, healthy relationships, and more. Rachel has been with us for 8 months now and we are beyond grateful to have her on our team!

We’re proud to be able to highlight the amazing work our staff do and get them acquainted with our board who supports them. Thank you for all of your hard work Rachel! Stay tuned for next month's staff spotlight…

We want to take a moment to thank the incredible foundations and organizations that supported us in 2025!

We are deeply grateful for the new relationships we’ve established and the ongoing partnerships we’ve strengthened over the years. These allies share our commitment to supporting victim-survivors, promoting healing, and addressing sexual assault. Their generosity helps us create a strong community of support, allowing us to provide vital advocacy, therapy, and prevention education services that foster safety and healing across our community.

A heartfelt thank you again to all the amazing organizations mentioned above who continue to stand with us.

Accessibility is one of our core values, and our Street Outreach efforts are one way we meet victim-survivors where they are. Each month, our STEP Advocates head into Tacoma and the greater Pierce County area to connect with unhoused neighbors, offering hygiene items, seasonal supplies, snacks, and information about our services. Many victim-survivors face limited housing options or increased vulnerability to exploitation, making consistent outreach especially important.

Street Outreach is about more than supplies—it’s about showing up with care, building trust, and creating pathways to support. We are proud to be able to partner with organizations like The Coffee Oasis and the South End Neighborhood Council to reach even more community members.

If you’d like to support this work, consider donating through our Amazon Wish List here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LUXAIO6SO1LX/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex? You can order from our list of much-needed supplies just like any other online purchase—just be sure to select “Rebuilding Hope Gift Registry Address” at checkout so items ship directly to our headquarters. The holiday season may be over, but it’s still a great time to give–especially to support victim-survivors also facing the coldest season outside. Thank you for helping us extend hope and care to those who need it most.

Looking for a supportive and confidential therapy group for the new year? We’ve got you!

We are inviting those interested in our Sexual Assault Treatment Group to register so we can schedule sessions at times that work best for participants. This in-person therapy group uses Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP), a brief form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy that helps survivors process traumatic memories and reduce post-traumatic symptoms, without the need to share stories.

Groups meet four times over two-week closed sessions and are held in Pierce and Kitsap counties. Dates and times scheduled based on participant availability. The cost is $40, with a sliding fee scale available for those who need it.

Registration is available through our “Victim-Survivor Healing Group Page” here https://rebuildinghope.org/groups/. For more information, please email our Clinical Director, Stephanie Sacks, at stephanie@rebuildinghope.org.

We’re so excited to share that we exceeded our goal for our Hope for the Holidays Campaign and raised over $23,000! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed—your support makes it possible for us to provide vital advocacy, therapy, and prevention education services to victim-survivors and their loved ones.

We are deeply inspired by the generosity and solidarity of our community. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure victim-survivors have access to trauma-informed care that supports their individual paths of healing.

Together, we’re showing the power of hope in action—strengthening communities, fostering connection, and creating lasting change for those affected by sexual assault.
