    Verde Valley SanctuarySedona News – The Verde Valley Sanctuary Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Jessye Johnson has taken the helm as the organization’s Executive Director.

    Jessye has a rich history of serving children, families, and survivors of domestic and sexual violence as a seasoned nonprofit leader with deep roots in Arizona.

    • Jessye has over two decades of experience within the violence against women movement, with the last ten (10) years as an executive leader for local and statewide nonprofit organizations. Throughout her career she has assisted in the passage of critical legislation to help survivors of domestic and sexual violence, acquired and administered millions of dollars in local, state, and federal grants, and provided model policies and protocols to other agencies across the state in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
        
    • For more than eight years, Jessye served as the Chief Strategy Officer for the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. Among her projects, Jessye was the subject matter expert for the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission’s Injunction Against Harassment and Order of Protection overhaul project leading to the development of the AzPOINT system. She also served as an appointee to the Arizona Governor’s Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit Task Force and responsible for developing statewide protocols related to sexual assault evidence kit collection, retention, and testing. 

    Verde Valley Sanctuary is excited to welcome Jessye and begin this new chapter.

    “We are thrilled to have selected Jessye, and we are excited by the opportunity to benefit from her experience and leadership,” said David Hanke, Board Chair of Verde Valley Sanctuary. “Not only does Jessye bring a strong network of partners and the know-how to get things done as a nonprofit executive in the Verde Valley; she is also passionately committed to Verde Valley Sanctuary’s mission and an inspiring leader.”

Domestic and sexual violence are unfortunate realities in every community, and Verde Valley Sanctuary has been a steadfast support for survivors in the Verde Valley for nearly thirty (30) years.”

    Jessye joined Verde Valley Sanctuary in her new role in late March, and there will be opportunities for the organization’s supporters and community partners to engage with her in the coming months.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
