The NCJFCJ worked with the Honorable Katherine Tennyson (Ret.) to develop a judge-to-judge letter on judicial involvement in addressing the LINK between animal abuse and family violence. In her letter, Judge Tennyson promotes judicial leadership and highlights the National LINK Coalition’s Toolkit for Starting a Link Coalition in Your Communityas an example of ways in which judge-led community coalitions can affect change. Developed by NCJFCJ’s partner and member of the Judicial Response to Animal Cruelty Advisory Group Phil Arkow, the Toolkit offers practical tools for community leaders, including judges, for beginning and sustaining a community-based coalition around addressing the link and discusses ways to identify partners, build a coalition, and recommended action planning to encourage, “local solutions to meet local concerns, augmented by additional resources.
