Today is Black Giving Day, and I'm asking you to give with me.

I know what it means to walk into WOAR needing help, and I know what it means to lead the organization that once helped me find my way back to myself. I am a survivor and that's why I understand, in a deeply personal way, what it means to have somewhere to turn.

At WOAR, we see every day what that investment makes possible: survivors accessing safety, advocacy, and a path toward healing. For Black survivors especially, that access matters. Investing in Black-led and Black-serving organizations means survivors get care from people and places that understand their full experience. It means the next person who needs WOAR will find it there for them, the same way I did.

Give with me today.

Tomorrow, August 28, communities across the country will observe Black Giving Day, a national day of giving that honors the rich tradition of Black philanthropy by supporting Black-led and Black-serving nonprofits while commemorating pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice.

Black survivors often carry a compounded weight, racism, sexism, and systems not built to center their healing. Organizations doing this work, especially Black-led and Black-serving ones, have too often had to do more with fewer resources.

Our Executive Director, LaQuisha S. Anthony, knows this firsthand. Before she led WOAR, she was a survivor who turned to WOAR's services and found her way back to herself.

Tomorrow, join us in investing in WOAR, investing in survivors' healing and in Philadelphia's future.

WOAR joined the community at a public safety event, connecting with neighbors alongside the PA Army National Guard, Philadelphia Police, and other local organizations dedicated to keeping our neighborhoods safe and informed. It's powerful to see so many groups come together in one place, sharing resources and building relationships that make a real difference.

We are grateful to Quinn for representing WOAR at the event, sharing resources on consent, healing, and support with everyone who stopped by our table. Conversations like these are how we build a community where survivors feel seen, supported, and connected to the help they need.

Thank you to everyone who came out and to our fellow organizations for the important work you do. We're proud to stand alongside you.

🐐 Growing Healthy Friendships — Right Alongside the Goats! 🐐

This week, our own Quinn headed out to the Philly Goat Project to lead workshops with middle and high schoolers on two topics close to WOAR's heart: building healthy friendships and staying safe online.

Surrounded by nature (and some very curious goats 🐐), students dug into real conversations — how to spot red flags, how to set boundaries with friends, and practical steps for staying safe online, like protecting personal information, screenshotting concerning messages to show a trusted adult, and knowing when to reach out for help.

Prevention starts with these conversations — and we're so glad Quinn got to have them in such a unique, welcoming space. Thank you to the Philly Goat Project for hosting! 🌳

Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect. Your boundaries deserve to be heard, honored, and supported—not challenged or ignored. Setting boundaries is an important part of protecting your well-being and fostering relationships grounded in trust, respect, and care.

Innovation without accountability can reproduce harm.” — Ruha Benjamin

Pennsylvania’s response to AI-generated sexual abuse and exploitation continues evolving as lawmakers work to modernize protections for children and survivors.

From Act 125 to Senate Bill 1050 and House Bill 2474, bipartisan efforts across both chambers have helped recognize an urgent reality: AI-generated abuse causes real harm, and Pennsylvania’s laws and response systems must continue adapting alongside rapidly changing technology.

WOAR appreciates the lawmakers who have helped advance this work, including:
Senators Tracy Pennycuick, Scott Martin, Lisa Baker, and James Malone
Representatives Nikki Rivera and Kristin Marcell

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, please call WOAR's 24/7 Hotline 215-985-3333. Trained, trauma-informed advocates are available around the clock to offer confidential support and connect you with the resources you need.
