We think and act intentionally about what we are doing as advocates.
To advocate is do more than provide services. We engage in the work of ensuring that the voices of those we advocate for are being heard in many ways.
“Tribal Advocates are the backbone of the response to end both domestic violence and sexual violence within their tribes. The work of the advocate will create the change we need in our communities.”
- Victoria Ybanez, Red Wind’s Executive Director
