Jana's Campaign Annual Report 2022

ANNUAL

2022 REPORT

“I can’t recall a single moment that I knew Jana when she wasn’t trying to make the world a better place for all of us. She never slowed down, she never gave up.”

-Brian Thomas, Friend of Jana

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide quality educational programming that prevents gender and relationship violence. Working through secondary schools, colleges and universities, and community-based organizations and agencies, Jana’s Campaign delivers specialized, evidence-based prevention strategies and curricula that is designed to prevent violence, build healthy relationships, and create new social norms.

Jana’s Story

On July 3, 2008, Jana Lynne Mackey lost her life to violence perpetrated by an ex-boyfriend in Lawrence, Kansas. The 25-year-old University of Kansas law student was an advocate for women’s rights and spent years volunteering to aid victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. As a passionate social and women’s activist, Jana fought for equality and social justice at every turn.

Described as “honey on steel,” Jana Mackey was the kind of woman that inspired others. She inspired through her words, her song, her actions. In March 2008, Jana attended a Women’s Leadership Conference, where she was asked to prioritize her top personal values. Jana identified her most important value as “equality for all persons,” and her second most important as “the courage to stand up for her own beliefs.” Jana ‘walked’ her values. With these values, coupled with her years of activism and political experience, Jana believed a law degree was the next step in her journey to become the most effective advocate possible for women and other underrepresented groups.

Jana was beautiful, intelligent and kind. She was an advocate, a friend, a sister, a daughter. She was magnetic. She was a bright spot on an ordinary day. Jana was a hero. Jana is missed.

Working Through Allies

Our direct work with students and citizens is made possible by partnering with and through allies. Our prevention model is based on delivering our prevention education programs through secondary schools, colleges and universities, and community based organizations. By building strong and collaborative partnerships with these local entities, we can better leverage resources, build on each other’s strengths and talents, and exchange organizational capacity that encourages sustainability.

A Note From The Executive Director

As I reflect on the past year, I am pleased with the progress we have made towards our goal of reducing all forms of gender and relationship violence through prevention education. 2022 was just that, a year of progress. A year of facing challenges head-on and remaining dedicated to our mission. And a year of celebrating small victories.

I hope you find this report informative and encouraging. The work we do is hopeful yet challenging. It is because of the generosity of our supporters and friends, and our dedicated board and staff members, that we are able to continue this life-saving work. So, I thank you for your continued support, belief in our work, and your ongoing commitment to gender and relationship violence prevention education.

Warmest regards,

Kaiti Blackburn

“Thank you beyond measure for your time, advocacy, information, and support! Our high school students and staff appreciate your ability to communicate Jana’s mission and educate our youth!”

We believe that one of the most effective ways to prevent gender and relationship violence is to educate adolescents about what constitutes a healthy vs. unhealthy relationship at the very time they begin to enter their first relationships. We can ultimately reduce the instances of gender and relationship violence by empowering young people to engage in healthy and supportive relationships and to create a strong culture of respect. Our goal as prevention educators is to stop the violence before it starts.

In 2022, we continued our efforts in Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, specifically working to impact the counties we have not yet provided programming in. This year, we worked with 89 middle and high schools, impacting a total of 5,222 students!

Implemented Programs in 89 Secondary Schools

Kansas House Bill 2567 – Section 27

New legislation was passed during the Kansas 2022 legislative session that impacts our survey administration. As a result, active consent from parents/guardians is required for students to participate in any questionnaire, survey or examination containing any questions about the personal attitudes, values, beliefs or practices of the student or the student’s parents/guardians, family members, associates, friends or peers.

This new addition has posed challenges for our staff to collect assessment data from students in the state of Kansas. We have developed documents and procedures in order to gain consent from parents/guardians to survey the students we work with. This important data assists Jana’s Campaign in developing and delivering relevant and up-to-date program content.

“You all are so amazing! Thank you for everything this school year! I am so thankful for your partnership. You do amazing things for kids! I look forward to seeing [again] you in the fall!”

20 States

We believe colleges and universities can and should do more to prevent gender and relationship violence. We work to provide higher education institutions with the training and resources they need to improve their prevention and response efforts to sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking on campus.

Jana’s Campaign hosted 3 Campus Safety Summits in 2022. Campus Safety Summits are regional and affordable conferences designed to educate college personnel by providing content and programs by national experts and regional practitioners. Additionally, Jana’s Campaign worked to provide direct violence prevention programming to college students and personnel through presentations and volunteer opportunities.

We believe in the power of speaking out about the issues of gender and relationship violence. In partnership with community organizations, we work to provide community-wide educational prevention programs that reduce the instances of violence. Our efforts include mobilizing others to volunteer and make a difference in their communities.

This past year, staff and board members were directly involved in several community educational activities. These included local community forums, coordinated community response teams, as well as regional and national conferences. Most notably was our work with the Kansas Sexual Assault Response Committee, Kansas Prevention Collaborative Conference, the National Conference on Crimes Against Women, and with national domestic violence expert Julie Owens.

“Jana was someone who had a reputation and a demeanor that was so impactful. She truly will always be a light in my heart. Thank you so much for continuing to share this legacy”

-Coworker from 2006 Election Cycle

Purple Chair Chats are important live conversations instilling the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to prevent gender and relationship violence.

Live Purple Chair Chats are hosted monthly on Facebook to raise awareness, engage bystanders, promote healthy and respectful relationships, and encourage the development of new social norms.
