Idaho’s 2024 Youth Writing Challenge

The Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence is inviting all middle school and high school students in our state to submit poems or short stories about “Love Languages in Healthy Relationships”.

Between now and March 1st, we are accepting youth submissions.

And besides getting their writing published, there’s also an opportunity for chosen authors to win $25 - $250 prizes.

Please share the word to Idaho youth, teachers and other school staff, or others who engage with middle school and high school students!

Action Requested: Safeguard Asylum

On Sunday night, Senate negotiators released the text of the “Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024,” legislation intended to address defense funding and border security concerns. 

This funding bill includes numerous immigration policy provisions that harm survivors fleeing gender-based violence and puts many others at increased risk of harm. 

This bill would not only deter survivors from seeking asylum or reporting their experiences, but runs the risk of pushing survivors back into dangerous and unsafe conditions.
