TRANSFORMATION IS POSSIBLE is a project of the Community Responses to Domestic Violence (CRDV) work group. Over the course of a year (June 2022-July 2023) the work group brought together Seattle-based domestic violence advocates, survivors, and community members with experience responding to domestic violence outside of the criminal legal system.

The work group focused on one simple question,“What non-criminal legal support is available for people who have been abusive in an intimate partnership in the Seattle Metro Area?”

TRANSFORMATION IS POSSIBLE identifies next steps for Seattle toward a broader vision for social change. We highlight the need for durable funding streams that support community-owned and community-led efforts to prevent violence before it escalates, motivate change through healing and transformation, and provide pathways for accountable relationships and communities.
