The Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s STOP Violence Program is located in Plummer Idaho, approximately 35 miles south of Coeur d’Alene Idaho.
The STOP Violence Program has continued to serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, our doors have remained open with 50% of our staff. Those of you who are familiar with our Program know that there are only two staff-persons here so at 50% tells you one has been here the past few months.
Although we’ve had to reduce some of the advocacy services due to other program or organization closure we have been pretty fortunate to be able to remain open. Our first positive cases started coming in the last week in May and they jumped up drastically in a matter of two weeks. For the following two weeks we saw a decline lasting approx.. two weeks and thought we were seeing an end, but that came to a halt on Friday June 26th when we started to see more positive cases so currently we are on another upswing. At this writing we will remain at 100% but that may change with continued positive cases.
I thank all of you for your support and caring during this challenging time, remember we are all in this together regardless of color, race, sex, religion or not, or how much money we have in the bank…
Stay safe and healthy.

All people are sacred and worthy of protection, justice, and wellness.
