DC SAFE

Today, we honor Juneteenth and the enduring pursuit of freedom, equity, and justice. While our administrative offices are closed in observance of the holiday, our crisis services remain available 24/7. We wish our community a meaningful and safe Juneteenth.

We're honored to share that DC SAFE has been selected as part of Spur Local's 2026 Class of Critical Nonprofits!

This recognition highlights organizations making a meaningful impact across the DC region, and we're proud to stand alongside fellow nonprofits working to strengthen our community.

Thank you to Spur Local for this recognition and to everyone who supports our mission every day.

Did you know that access to a firearm makes an abusive partner five times more likely to kill their female victim?

This weekend, we're wearing orange in solidarity with the movement to end gun violence. 🟠 Orange is more than a color—it's a symbol of hope, a demand for change, and a reminder that every life lost to gun violence matters.

Happy Pride from DC SAFE ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We’re proud to stand with LGBTQ+ survivors and community members today and every day. Everyone deserves relationships rooted in safety, respect, and support, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

Last year, DC SAFE supported more than 750 LGBTQ+ survivors, including 43 trans survivors. We’re also proud to be part of the city’s LGBTQ+ Violence Prevention and Response Team, working alongside partners across DC to help build safer communities for all.
