About Us / Our Vision

FightDV.org is an organization designed to attract and empower more people to get involved in the fight against domestic violence, thus enabling them to actively become Fighters Against Domestic Violence.

Our vision is simple - the more people seeing/promoting messages against domestic violence, then the more victims and abusers will think about breaking the chains of domestic violence!

Our goal and motto - "Breaking chains without casting stones" - this motto represents change without focusing on the negative/mistakes that abusers and even some victims have made, and instead just focus on positive change going forward while recognizing the signs that led to the negative mistakes. We also recognize that every case is different, and unfortunately some cases result in severe tragedy, but with your help, we WILL reduce domestic violence!

History behind the startup of FightDV.org

-The CEO/Founder, Jesse Peterson, performed extra volunteer work during his time in the US Navy, and always volunteered and donated to random causes and charities after receiving his honorable discharge from the Navy. In 2012, out of desire to still serve his country beyond his military service and during his security career, he decided to focus all volunteering and donating efforts into one cause. While researching various charitable causes and trying to find one that needed a great deal of support and attention, he recognized that domestic violence prevention definitely needs both. He then felt compelled to take his efforts a huge leap further. So he began developing a mission to not only provide support, but to also help promote dv prevention in a bold way.

The organization of FightDV.org was instantly forged with endless ideas for the development process. Within 2 months, the website, logo, marketing, social media messages and FightDV gear were already created! That mission and goal continues to evolve, as FightDV.org strives to keep putting out the message to more and more people so that they can recognize just how simple it is to become a part of the solution. Thank you for considering becoming a part of this mission!

Imagine

Imagine a teenage boy that chose living on someone's porch during the subzero winter conditions rather than returning to an abusive home where his kid brothers were used as excuses for his being abused. Imagine that boy having to live off of whatever food he could take home from work at the end of his workday while making minimum wage. Imagine him having to sleep with a space heater right next to his body just to get some of the heat from it in a drafty porch, and on some nights having to risk catching fire by putting the blanket over himself and the space heater due to being so cold and trying to get more of the heat to his body and extremities. Imagine him sleeping with a huge butcher knife that he stole from work for survival while sleeping on a porch in the inner city. Imagine him having to dump his only belongings- a trash bag full of clothes, onto his blanket for added warmth while he tried to sleep on a tiny mattress found by a dumpster. Imagine him dropping out of high school due to struggling in those conditions. Imagine you know him and he grows up to do something about abuse because you helped him...
