Coalition for Change Documentary Premiere

March 13, 2026

Spotlight, Trainings & Events

Join Us for the Premiere of Our New Documentary: Coalition for Change

What makes a movement?

We sat down with four pioneers of North Dakota’s anti-domestic and sexual violence movement to answer the question. 

Featuring NDDSVC’s founding Executive Director, Bonnie Palecek, and other leaders of the movement, Coalition for Change is a reflection on our grassroots origins and where we are today. The 30-minute short film is both a historical record and a means of passing the work along to a new generation of leaders.

Former leaders share stories of pure joy, sheer will, devastating heartbreak, and the everyday helpers who stepped up to support survivors when it mattered most. Join us as we celebrate the strength and perseverance of women who did not see themselves as revolutionaries, but described themselves simply as “women helping women.”

On the big screen for one night only, you won’t want to miss this inspiring event. Seats are limited, so secure your tickets today!
