Last week, BARCC met with the incredible team from Portal to Hope to learn about all the amazing work they are doing to end the cycle of violence and provide services to survivors of sexual and domestic violence. It was a great opportunity to connect with an organization that shares our mission of creating a world free from violence. Thank you, Portal to Hope, for everything you do! (fb)

A message from our Interim Executive Director, Liz Speakman. Sexual violence is not about desire. It’s about control and power. Our words have power. Let’s use ours to support survivors and create a community free from sexual violence. Read our joint statement here: https://barcc.org/barcc-statements/statement-barcc-responds-quincy-mayor/. (fb)
