Dawn currently serves on the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, working to inform and implement effective public policy to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking, particularly as it relates to Tribal communities and impacts Tribal victim survivors, Tribal advocates, and Tribal coalitions.
