Many people are feeling a lot of stress right now. Some notice it as a low-grade constant hum of anxiety in themselves. Others are having a hard time keeping negative thoughts from dominating their mood and mindset. Many are having a harder time being kind and patient, especially to those they see the most. These conditions are hard, but are not excuses for violence, emotional abuse, or control over our partners and household members. If you think you are either starting to or continuing to treat your partner or family in a way that you want to change, read the message in this graphic, and consider calling a hotline for support. We are all capable of change when we commit to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd2610716b6402cb2bec715/1621032417514-NLLQQR0JCM2L9RH9FTFR/185532093_10159148810442692_4637505172817348304_n.jpg Home - Uplift survivors of violence Survivors of violence in our communities need your support! May is Asian Pacific American Heritage month and we honor all of the brave survivors in our families, friend circles and communities.

Our AWS family is wishing everyone a safe holiday season filled with gratitude, warm, and good food! We also have a special request for the youngest survivors we support. This has been a tough time for so many and an even more challenging time for the children of the families we serve. They feel the struggles their families are facing amidst the pandemic, and loss of income and opportunity, and yet they persevere. Can you bring hope and cheer into their holiday season this year by contributing to the AWS Holiday Wishlist? The wishlist includes specific items requested by some of our clients as well as high need items for the families AWS is currently supporting. We aren't able to hold our usual in person holiday gatherings for families this year, and are hoping you can help us spread the holiday spirit from a safe distance!

Through this campaign, we are inviting the local Asian American and Pacific Islander community as well as our broader San Francisco / Bay Area community to be brave and “talk about us”. Violence is an issue that affects all of us, whether we are directly experiencing domestic or family violence or bearing witness to community violence like mass shootings. What are the connections? And what can we do to prevent violence from occurring in the first place? We are also providing resources (via QR code) to help people take actionable steps towards violence prevention as well as support resources for those currently experiencing violence. You can find and share those here. In partnership with BART, the campaign launched with an official unveiling at Powell BART Station in San Francisco on Wednesday, February 15th. Keep an eye out for Amanda’s art in more than one dozen BART stations systemwide and onboard trains serving each BART line! Feel free to take pictures and share on social media with our handles @sf_aws and @alonglastname to spread the campaign far and wide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd2610716b6402cb2bec715/fd79970b-2274-4fb5-990f-593075c9574e/AWS_Gala2023_FB_event_banner_FINAL_03.jpg Home - Join us for GATHER: Celebrating 35 Years of Commitment & Courage Explore ticket / sponsorship options here: https://tinyurl.com/GatherWithAWS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd2610716b6402cb2bec715/89b8b2ad-5cac-4337-8b5e-19a2c822acb5/AWS_Gala2024_FB_event_banner_01+%283%29.jpg Home - Join us for GATHER: Celebrating 35 Years of Commitment & Courage Explore ticket / sponsorship options here: https://tinyurl.com/GatherWithAWS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd2610716b6402cb2bec715/0b5591a1-62d3-483e-8503-94a76215d89b/AWS+give+tue+24.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd2610716b6402cb2bec715/3d51e8a3-50c1-4566-8a31-9dae57778809/SFAWS+Instagram+%281%29.png Home - Make it stand out Asian Women’s Shelter logo with a message of Happy Lunar New Year.
