Each year, WSCADV hosts Survivors Advocacy Day at the State Capitol, where advocates and survivors come together to engage with lawmakers on issues that truly matter! This is an amazing opportunity to unite our voices and shine a spotlight on the policy and budget priorities that directly impact survivors and their families.
Survivors Advocacy Day 2026
January 26–27, 2026
Hosted by: Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault, Children’s Advocacy Centers of Washington, and the Sexual Assault Working Group
Join us in Olympia for a powerful two-day advocacy event where domestic violence, sexual assault and child advocacy leaders unite to take action for survivors.
Violence anywhere hurts communities everywhere. Every survivor should be able to get the help they need– and we can make that happen in Washington if we fund these lifesaving services. Our voices are powerful! Together, we’ll advocate with legislators for survivor safety, victim services, and key policy and budget priorities, so we can build communities where all people can live and love freely, without fear.
We’re excited to join with Children’s Advocacy Centers of Washington and the Sexual Assault Working Group this year to take action for survivors and safe communities. Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned pro, we’ll provide everything you need to feel prepared and supported. See you in Olympia!

Federal Advocacy Days
We participate annually in the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s Advocacy Days. These take place each Spring in Washington, D.C., and are an opportunity for us to join other state coalitions across the country to advance a collective policy agenda for survivors of abuse.
