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 Gay Revolution" by Lillian Faderman
Advocates Shannon & Sara team up with special guest, Trey Goldizen from our sister program the Eastern Panhandle Empowerment Center (EPEC) to discuss "The Gay Revolution" by Lillian Faderman. This book is an illuminating chronicle of the history of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights in America from the 30's forward. Faderman's gift for connecting history with the story of the people that fought, lost, and triumphed along the way makes this an absolutely necessary read for anyone interested in the story of the struggle.
