“Respond to and end violence against women in rural and suburban communities, urban centers and native tribes. Praxis employs a wide range of strategies to share innovations and change conditions that produce injustice including: training institutes, webinars, and audio conferences featuring national experts and peer-to-peer dialogues; roundtables convened to delve deep into issues and foster creative thinking; comprehensive tool kits to help apply new approaches step-by-step; emerging issue think pieces; conference presentations; and a website rich with free materials. In sixteen years we have conducted dozens of on-site consultations throughout the country; provided more than 450 advocacy and criminal justice reform trainings; conducted over ninety safety and accountability audits in partnership with local communities; and produced numerous training and ta resources including online training courses, public awareness campaigns, needs assessments, organizing manuals, training guides, and comprehensive training toolkits. Our current projects include: advocacy learning center - a comprehensive project to build knowledge and skills for effective, high-quality individual, institutional, and community advocacy on behalf of women and survivors of all forms of violence against women. The advocacy learning center is a national project in partnership with manavi (the first u.s. Advocacy organization for south asian battered women), the u.s. Office on violence against women, and a host of other minnesota-based and national advocates and trainers. Teams of advocates and their agency leaders from dozens of states, tribal nations, and u.s. Territories come together to listen, share, learn, teach, debate and celebrate together throughout an 18-month course. Alc participants delve deep into core values and principles of advocacy in a four-day immersion training; examine how we can reshape institutions to protect women and children in a three-day systems change institute; and think and plan together on changing cultural conditions that generate violence against women at a two-day community advocacy training. The teams explore the topics most important to them through peer conference calls and webinars and expand their grasp of what is possible through site visits to model social justice organizations around the country-- all towards strengthening advocacy organizations to create fundamental social change. 538 people and 206 advocacy groups have completed or started the course since 2009. Blueprint for safety demonstration initiative - documenting the adaptation of st. Paul's successful blueprint for safety model in communities across the country. In 2010, the blueprint became the first comprehensive interagency framework in the nation for criminal justice system response to domestic violence. Its design drew on hundreds of hours of analysis, interviews, and discussions across the system, multiple battered women's advocacy programs, and dozens of diverse community-based focus groups. Its integrated approach is making an impact in st paul: 911 call-takers have improved information-gathering; law enforcement officers are writing stronger reports; prosecutors are charging more cases; judges are strengthening conditions of release; and concurrently, the blueprint steering committee is assessing racial disparities in domestic violence cases. The office on violence against women funded three demonstration projects to adapt the blueprint and they are currently underway in duluth, mn; new orleans, la; and shelby county, tn. Praxis serves as the technical assistance provider for the demonstration initiative. An adaptable version of the blueprint is available for free download on the praxis website and we have continued to update this resource by adding policy and protocol templates, training memos, and other new material developed through the national demonstration project.
