• THE VOICES BOOK NOOK HAS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!

    If you could build the perfect book store, what would it look like? It would be meticulously organized, so you can find exactly what you need. It would have a large selection, with not just books, but magazines, music, puzzles and more. And of course, it would have low prices and a helpful staff.

In response to the George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery stories:

Anti-oppression work is and will continue to be at the heart of our agency mission. We at VOICES stand with thos e who are in support of dismantling inequality and racism, as we acknowledge that all forms of oppression exist as part of the same system that continues to fuel sexual violence. Only by dismantling all forms of oppression; including racism, will we be able to end sexual violence.

As counselors, advocates, and prevention educators who work with trauma, we grieve the hurt, harm and danger that communities of color are faced with each day. We are committed to developing more proactive ways to support our community and stand against all forms of oppression, violence and injustice.
