"But what keeps me hopeful after all these years is not the illusion that abuse will suddenly disappear. It is the extraordinary resilience of survivors themselves, the advocates who continue showing up to do emotionally difficult work despite burnout and uncertainty, and the volunteers, donors, policymakers, and community members who still believe this work matters.

And perhaps most importantly, it is the growing recognition that looking away has never actually made the problem disappear."

As Sojourner House marks 50 years of service, its executive director hopes more people recognize that addressing domestic violence in Rhode Island and elsewhere is a public priority, not a private matter.

This May we observe Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We proudly celebrate the rich heritage and traditions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders while honoring the many ways they have shaped our history, society, and culture.

Today, we want to highlight just some of the influential leaders in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities who have made a lasting impact on housing access, advocacy, and opportunity for their communities.
