I joined the Junior League of Los Angeles because it is a training organization that exists to promote voluntarism and develop the potential of women civic leaders. For 16 years, I have been inspired to stay active in the League because of the direct service projects, the advocacy efforts, and the collective impact our membership has made in building better communities for women, children, the homeless, low-income families and transition age foster youth. More importantly, I am grateful for the long-standing relationships that I have developed over the years. - Joy C. Williams, Social Media Committee #whyJLLA #JLLosAngeles #JuniorLeague #WomenWhoLead #sharethelovejlla

There are unique barriers to voting experienced by survivors of intimate partner violence. From fear of potential retaliation to privacy concerns, some survivors face a unique set of obstacles that prevent them from making their voices heard at the voting booth. Since 1999, the state of California has run the Safe at Home program to ensure that victims of domestic violence and human trafficking have a mailing address that enables them to vote by mail confidentially.
