“It is of the utmost importance to start working on the prevention of sexual and domestic violence for our children, our grandchildren and their future generations. Throughout the years, we have accomplished much in the intervention of violent behavior but we have just begun all that is necessary for prevention. We do……we can….and we will make a difference!” - Grace Orsini

By making a contribution to the 1000 Grandmother’s Campaign you will support prevention work that is taking place across Virginia. You also have the opportunity to honor a grandmother or grandchild by sending a story and a picture to be posted on our web-site.

You can join the 1000 Grandmothers Action list by providing your email address to receive alerts about media campaigns and policy issues related to sexual and domestic violence. As a member of the campaign you will:

  • receive a regular newsletter
  • support funding for violence prevention projects
  • educate public policy leaders about the importance of prevention for our grandchildren
  • as consumers, demand that media and advertising give children and youth healthy messages

 

To join our campaign:

Send your contribution to: VSDVAA 1000 Grandmothers Campaign, 5008 Monument Ave. Ste. A, Richmond, VA 23230

 

With your contribution of $100 or more we’ll be happy to send you a copy of Holly Near’s wonderful CD, “Edge,” that includes the 1000 Grandmothers song!
