SUMMARY:Making Magic Together: Dresser Build Event with DVIP/RVAP and Houses into Homes
DESCRIPTION:Two local organizations are coming together to create something magical!\n\n\nHelp DVIP/RVAP furnish and decorate our six new stable housing units in Johnson County. We’re partnering with the amazing Houses into Homes to make things as seamless as possible for donors\, neighbors\, clients\, and each other!\n\n\nConstruction of the units is nearly complete\, and as we prepare to welcome families into their new houses it’s now time to make them homes. We’ll furnish each one intentionally\, and to reduce both cost and waste\, most of the furniture in the homes will be gently-used and refurbished.\n\n\nAmong the long list of needs\, each 3 Bedroom Townhome requires 3 dressers and 3 nightstands. If possible\, we would love to provide these bedroom items new and lovingly built by neighbors this late summer evening.\n\n\nOur friends at Ball\, Kirk & Holm have pulled a magical opportunity out of their hats: the cost of all of the dressers and nightstands! When they learned of this new townhome furnishing project and the build event in support of The Row\, BK&H stepped up with a challenge: get 60 sign-ups to help build all 18 dressers and 18 nightstands at once on August 11\, and they will sponsor the ENTIRE cost of furniture.\n\n\nIf we succeed\, any additional financial support and sponsorship for the event will go entirely to helping the victim-survivors\, thanks to this amazing generosity. So\, now it’s up to you. Don’t let this chance to fund $3\,600 of furniture vanish back into thin air!\n\n\nWhen you sign up\, say a little thanks to BKH. This is a free event; however\, registration is required.\n\n\nIf you are a business or organization interested in sponsoring the event\, or providing food/drink for a fun evening\, please write to directors@housesintohomes.org. All funds raised will be used exclusively to support the townhome project.\n\n\nSchedule:\n5:45-6:00pm: Registration and Gathering\n6:10pm: Welcome & Instructions\n6:15-7:45: Build ready-to-assemble dressers and nightstands in teams of 2-4\nOR: “Shop” in Houses into Homes warehouse from prepared lists (kitchen items\, linens\, decor\, toys\, games\, cleaning supplies\, etc) and pack in moving boxes\nOR: Test puzzles and games\, write housewarming cards\, and more\n7:45-8:00: Collect & Clean up\n\n\nLearn more and register/donate here. \n\n\nWant to volunteer at this event? If you’re a first-time Houses into Homes volunteer\, register here. Next\, to volunteer on August 11\, sign-up here.

SUMMARY:Dear Lara: Community Education Event on Sexual Assault in Higher Education and Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with FilmScene\, Sexual Assault Survivors at Iowa (SASI)\, The Bijou Film Board\, and Honors Students for Unity and Progress: \nJoin us for a screening of Dear Lara\, a deeply personal documentary that exposes decades of sexual abuse and institutional complicity in the classical music world. \n9/10/26 – 6:30pm @ FilmScene (Chauncey location) \nPurchase tickets ahead of time here.  \nCatered reception preceding the screening starting at 6pm \nThere will be a post-screening panel discussion led by Julia Conrad with representatives from DVIP/RVAP as well as Amber Joy Powell and Katharine Baker. \nAmber Joy Powell received her PhD in Sociology at the University of Minnesota in 2022. Amber’s research examines the intersections of gendered racialized violence\, law\, and the carceral state. Her most recent work explores how juvenile detention centers enable and respond to the sexual victimization of incarcerated youth. She is conducting ongoing research on prison rape reform and the fight for sexual safety among legal practitioners and anti-prison rape activists. \nKatharine Baker is the Aliber Family Chair in Law at the University of Iowa College of Law. Her scholarship focuses on the intersection of women’s intimate lives and the law. Baker has written extensively on sexual violence and misconduct\, especially among young adults on college campuses. Her work has been published in leading law journals such as the Harvard Law Review\, Yale Law Journal\, and the University of Chicago Law Review. She co-authored Family Law: The Essentials and numerous book chapters. \n\nAbout the documentary:  \nThe story begins in 2019\, when renowned violinist Lara St. John speaks out about the sexual assault she endured as a 14-year-old student at the elite Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. After her story is published in The Philadelphia Inquirer\, she is flooded with letters and outreach from fellow survivors. Determined to make these voices heard\, Lara travels across North America and Europe to meet others who\, like her\, were failed by the very organizations meant to protect them. As these personal accounts accumulate\, a pattern emerges of institutions shielding predators at the expense of the vulnerable. Blending unflinching testimony\, investigative rigor\, and a haunting original score\, the film exposes ingrained practices of harm and cover-ups\, rooted in power\, silence\, and the worship of reputation over justice. \nJoined by fellow musicians\, journalists\, students and activists pressing for accountability\, Lara’s pursuit to illuminate this insidious pattern in the classical music world serves as both a reckoning from within and a rallying cry for cultural change\, created by someone who lived an all-too-common ordeal and refused to look away. \n“St. John […] does not follow the creed that a journalist’s job is to look but not touch […]. She openly approaches the institutions that are causing harm. Her dialogue with these institutions—or lack thereof—is central to her argument that claims of abuse are being swept under the rug.”—Hal Kowalewski\, My Scena

SUMMARY:Clothesline Project Display
DESCRIPTION:Clothesline Project Display – Johnson County\nClothesline Project – The Clothesline Project is a visual display of violence statistics that often go ignored. Each shirt displayed is made by a survivor of violence or by someone who has lost a loved one to violence. \nDuring the exhibit\, participants hear three distinct sounds. Each represents the frequency of different violence statistics. The gong is struck every 10-12 seconds to indicate a person being physically abused by an intimate partner. The whistle is blown every minute to indicate a sexual assault being reported. The bell is rung every four minutes to indicate a person dying in a violent attack.  \nThroughout the month\, community members are invited to join us in a shirt-making session and/or attend the Clothesline Project in their respective communities. To learn more about a shirt-making session near you\, please email communityengagement@dvipiowa.org. All Clothesline Project activities are free and open to the public. No registration is needed! \n                     Clothesline Project Displays:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMt.
