Today we honor Ellen Pence (she/her), a q***r icon, community activist, and survivor advocate whose work transformed the movement to end relationship violence.
 
Ellen was a remarkable pioneer in the field of interpersonal violence (IPV). She made incredible contributions like co-creating the Duluth Model for survivors of IPV. Also, in 1987 she introduced the Power and Control as well as Equality Wheel. These tools helped people better understand the patterns of abuse that exist within abusive relationships. Today, it is used around the world by advocates, educators, and other human services professionals to support survivors and strengthen violence prevention efforts. 
We at the PCA have adapted the Power and Control Wheel as well as an Equity Wheel for our advocacy and prevention work as well. You can find them at our website: thepca.org/ipv-101-1 and the pca.org/healthy-relationships.
 
Ellen’s legacy lives on through the countless advocates, educators, and organizations that continue using her work to support survivors. She reminded us that ending violence takes all of us. It takes compassion. It takes accountability. And it takes communities willing to create change.

🌈💜
Thank you for joining us in recognizing such amazing icons this Pride Month. We’ve loved celebrating just a few of the LGBTQ+ activists who advocated for survivors of IPV. At the same time, we know there are so many more stories to tell. We can’t wait to continue highlighting more LGBTQ+ changemakers with you next Pride Month.❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
 
Help honor Ellen’s legacy:
📚 Learn LGBTQ+ history.
🤝 Support survivors.
🗣️ Speak out against violence and discrimination.
❤️ Build communities rooted in care and accountability.

We're starting a new series, y'all! Welcome to Resource Friday!

Every Friday, we will be highlighting a campus or community resource related to IPV, sexual health, basic needs, housing- you name it!

Why more than just IPV? Because this work is intersectional. People's identities and material conditions can increase their risk of experiencing IPV and impact the quality of support they receive during and after surviving violence. Empowering our community members through resource connection is essential to preventing and responding to IPV.

Our very first Resource Friday shoutout is none other than THE Rose Andom Center, a collaborative advocacy center located in downtown Denver that provides services to survivors of relationship violence and sexual assault.
