The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has a list of state-based resources for survivors of domestic violence. The list also includes tribal coalitions, as well as local sexual assault coalitions. (Note: This website does not include an emergency exit button.)
NNEDV describes itself as a "social change organization." The group is a combination of local violence prevention organizations, allied groups, and individuals, according to its website. They aim to affect change on a policy level, offer support for survivors leaving unsafe situations, and collaborate together on ideas to help prevent and respond to domestic violence.
NO MORE is an organization that aims to end domestic violence and sexual assault by promoting awareness, action, and cultural change, per its website. NO MORE does many things, including provide organizations with tools to help them educate their communities, help connect people with local anti-domestic violence movements, and put together research on how domestic violence and sexual assault impact different communities.
Not everyone has friends or family they can safely turn to, and that's OK. DomesticShelters.org has a national list of shelters and local organizations that users can find based on their current zip code. The website also includes a variety of information about domestic violence and abuse.
