What We Do

Warriors and Healers — both are needed in this fight.

The Shield Project stands for protection and renewal: warriors who confront injustice, and healers who help survivors rebuild their lives.
We are building a national movement that connects individuals and organizations defending women and children in the family-court system — transforming isolated efforts into a coordinated force for safety and reform.

Our Approach

Warriors
We expose systemic failures in the family-court process, advocate for institutional accountability, and amplify survivor voices that have too often been silenced.

Healers
We foster recovery through education, survivor-led outreach, and collaboration with trauma-informed professionals and nonprofits nationwide.

Our Mission in Motion

From our California roots, Shield is expanding into a network that unites local initiatives across the United States under a shared banner — to protect, educate, and empower survivors while demanding justice from the systems that failed them.

Join the movement — stand with us as we protect, unite, and seek justice for survivors
