Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast is a collaborative project of Branches Domestic Violence Shelter that is designed to shed light on issues of domestic violence that continue to oppress victims daily--these conversations will educate and empower listeners to recognize the insidious footprint of domestic violence in our communities as well as best practices for effective advocacy. With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence in their life time, and communities of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community facing higher rates and more risk for reporting DV, there has never been a more urgent call to create not only trauma-informed services, but space for all of us to be members of a trauma-responsive community. This podcast can be your first step.

Read For Each Other: A Look at "The Body is Not an Apology, Sonya Renee Taylor"
The Branches Book Club: A Social Justice Initiative is designed to create a space of learning and advancement for Branches staff professional development as well as to create a space of learning for our greater community. You can join the Branches Book Club through our Facebook.
We hope you'll join us for this discussion which looks into "The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love" by Sonya Renee Taylor. This book is a powerful tool for understanding anti-oppression through the lens of how discrimination and "body terrorism" is enacted on bodies. It's fascinating, enlightening, and an important conversation for all of us.
