Jana's Campaign to Stop Domestic Violence
In honor of the late Jana Mackey, a committed group of advocates have created Jana's Campaign to encourage and promote a public policy response to domestic violence. "We believe it is our responsibility to use the story of Jana's life and the story of her death to help reduce violence against women."Jana's Campaign promotes new and effective legislation and other government action that secures safety and justice for victims of domestic violence. "It is our deep desire to play a significant role in breaking the cycle of domestic violence and be a catalyst for social change."
Public Policy Advocacy
We are a grassroots, community-based advocacy campaign working in the domestic violence public policy arena. Our public policy strategy and actions include partnering with other advocates and victims to encourage the development of effective state, national and international domestic violence public policy. Jana's Campaign's mission is to promote new and effective legislation and other government actions that "secures safety and justice for victims of domestic violence."
