Sage Advocacy Center is rebranding!

We are thrilled to have partnered with local talent Norse Creative LLC for the design. Their wonderful and caring team helped us come up with an entirely new look to represent the important work we do in our community.

We think it looks great and we love the meaning even more:
Our logo is purple to show solidarity with survivors of domestic violence, blue for the prevention of child abuse, teal for sexual assault awareness and prevention, and green to support those who are victims of crime. These colors of support come together to form the letter “a”. The letter “a” historically stood for “advocacy” in our former SAGE acronym. Advocacy truly is the center of the work we do. The “a” is designed to be a speech bubble, representing speaking up for survivors of crime and speaking out against violence and injustice in all its forms.

We love the new look and what it represents, and hope you will too! Be on the lookout for new content and a new website coming soon! We appreciate your patience and support.

¡Sage Advocacy Center está cambiando de marca! Estamos encantados de habernos asociado con el talento local The Norse Creative para el diseño. Su equipo maravilloso y cariñoso nos ayudó a crear una apariencia completamente nuevo para representar el importante trabajo que hacemos en nuestra comunidad. Creemos que se ve muy bien y nos encanta el significado aún más: nuestro logotipo es morado para mostrar solidaridad con los sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica, azul para la prevención del abuso infantil, verde azulado para la concientización y prevención de asaltos sexuales y verde para apoyar a las víctimas. del crimen Estos colores de apoyo se unen para formar la letra "a". Históricamente, la letra "a" significaba "defensa" en nuestro antiguo acrónimo SAGE. La defensa es verdaderamente el centro del trabajo que hacemos. La "a" está diseñada para ser una burbuja de diálogo, que representa hablar por los sobrevivientes del crimen y hablar en contra de la violencia y la injusticia en todas sus formas. Nos encanta el nuevo aspecto y lo que representa, ¡y esperamos que a ti también te guste! ¡Esté atento a nuevos contenidos y un nuevo sitio web próximamente! Agradecemos su paciencia y apoyo.
