Momentum for Change Season 5, Episode 8: Changing Laws, Changing Lives with Representative Cecelie Williams

MOCADSV's motto has long been "we change laws, we change lives". These policies are moved forward in partnership with advocates, survivors, and lawmakers. One lawmaker and survivor, who has actively changed laws and changed lives throughout the 2026 legislative session is State Representative Ceclie Williams, who joins MOCADSV for a discussion on passing the divorce while pregnant bill, among other policies that have a positive impact on survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Some episodes of MOmentum for Change have conversations that include content and descriptions of domestic and sexual violence, which may be alarming or activating for some listeners.
