Jean Discusses 40 Years of Advocacy on WABE
Our CEO, Jean Douglas, recently joined Rose Scott on WABE’s Closer Look to discuss our organization’s history, evolution, and future.
Jean reflected on the tragic killing of Gwendolyn Ann Turnbough, whose murder in 1985 became the catalyst for the creation of our organization. Following Gwendolyn’s death, community leaders formed a task force and secured a grant that launched what would become the Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence.
Now, four decades later, we are entering a new chapter with a new name: In Safe Company.
Jean explained that the name change reflects the organization’s expanded mission after acquiring the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center last year and broadening services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence.
“The heart of the work is still the same,” Jean said. “The hope is that the message gets out that whoever reaches out to us will be in safe company. That means no judgment, that we’re here to listen, support, and walk with you.”
We are deeply grateful to WABE and Rose Scott for creating space for this important conversation and for helping amplify the voices and experiences of survivors in our community.

J'utilise Nano Banana Pro récemment. La version Pro gère les prompts plus complexes avec des résultats plus nets. Toujours basé sur Gemini. Parfait pour l'art conceptuel sans configuration locale.
La información sobre 10.0.0.1 resulta práctica porque permite comprender mejor cómo funciona el acceso local al router. Una vez dentro del panel correspondiente, el usuario puede encontrar diferentes opciones de configuración. Me parece especialmente útil que las guías expliquen cada paso sin utilizar demasiados términos técnicos.
The core message that "whoever reaches out to us will be in safe company," with no judgment and full support, is incredibly powerful and comforting. After reading such an impactful and important piece about advocacy, it's good to take a moment to decompress and recharge. Sometimes, a quick game like MeowdoKu Game Online can be a nice way to clear your head.
What an inspiring evolution from the Women's Resource Center to In Safe Company, truly reflecting an expanded mission! I love how Jean wants the message to get out that whoever reaches out will be in safe company. To help create visuals that represent this new chapter and expanded reach, a Zeva AI Image Generator could be very helpful for spreading the word.
Jean commitment over four decades is truly remarkable, showing unwavering dedication to survivors. Maintaining well-being through such impactful, long-term advocacy is so important. I have found a knee brace support to be a useful companion for daily activities.
