Mission Statement:

Looking for My Sister is a grassroots, faith-based, 501(C)(3), non-profit organization committed to putting an end to domestic violence by promoting community awareness and helping survivors gain the tools needed to obtain independence, self-esteem and self-determination

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

~We oppose the use of violence as a means of control over others.
~We support equality in relationships and the concept of helping women assume power over their own lives.
~We strive toward becoming independent, community based groups in which women are major policy and program decision-makers.
~We must work toward ending racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, classism, and oppression of all traditionally silenced groups within the battered women's movement. These oppressions are perpetuated by the same systems that profit by violence against women and their children and cannot be separated from the overall mission of the Coalition for the oppression of one women is the oppression of all women.
~We recognize and support efforts of other agencies and individuals in addressing all issues that help to eliminate the oppression of women and children and the generational cycle of abuse.
