WE BELIEVE IN THE ‘POWER OF THE STORY.’

OUR STORY

Many great social movements have been driven and motivated by a series of stories, or one single story that moves people to action. We believe it is our responsibility to share the story of Jana’s life and the story of Jana’s death to reduce gender-based violence. This story is about who Jana was,

Of the 1,197 people who died as a result of domestic and dating violence in the U.S. in 2008, one of them was Jana Lynne Mackey. Rather than celebrate the 4th of July weekend with family and friends, the Brungardt and Mackey families planned Jana’s funeral.

On July 9, 2008, speakers at “Jana’s Celebration of Life” service called on the 1,100 people in attendance to pick up her fallen torch and find the courage to carry her work forward. “It is our hope that her single torch will soon become eleven hundred torches,” said speaker Curt Brungardt. “Eleven hundred others making a difference in our world.”

Moments after the funeral, people began sharing their ideas of service in honor of Jana. Days later, friends started a website and created an organized effort to document stories of community service and Eleven Hundred Torches: Jana’s Call to Action campaign was born. The mission of this campaign was simply to encourage hundreds of people to serve others in her honor and make a difference in their communities. The goal was to record 1,100 stories of community service. On October 12, 2009, the campaign documented its 1,100th story. These stories of community service came from 19 states and 4 foreign countries. Over 1,300 acts of service were actually recorded by the end of 2010.

her beliefs, how she lived her life, her efforts to protect women, and her pursuit of social justice. Her powerful story is also about how she died as a victim of dating violence. We have given Jana’s name and face to the global movement of reducing violence against women. We see her as a

symbol of the millions of women worldwide who have, and continue to, suffer from this social disease. We believe in the power of the story. We believe in the power of Jana Mackey’s story to move people.

Since meeting that goal, Jana’s family, friends and supporters decided to narrow their future work to Jana’s passion of working to reduce gender-based violence. It was their deep desire to turn Jana’s tragedy into something positive for others. So, on December 10, 2009, and as part of the International 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Curt and Christie Brungardt officially announced the creation of Jana’s Campaign Inc.. At a Topeka, Kansas, press conference, the Brungarts’ laid out their plans on how they intended to create a movement to reduce domestic anddating violence.

Jana’s Campaign’s first, and most important work, started immediately with encouraging the Kansas Legislature to support the

“domestic violence designation (tag) bill.” Three months later, Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson, signed the bill into law. In the spring of 2011, Jana’s Campaign established its national board of directors, adopted its current organizational by-laws and received federal 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable status by the IRS. Later that year, the board of directors drafted and established the strategic direction and program focus areas. Most recently in 2012, a capital campaign was launched to raise the resources we need to establish a strong organizational foundation.

“If our work can help educate, encourage,

or motivate just one person to stop or get

out of a dangerous situation, I feel like

we have honored Jana’s life and have

done our job in continuing her work.”

ABOUT JANAThe most unlikely of domestic violence victims, Jana Mackey, was found dead in her ex-boyfriend's home on July 3, 2008. The 25-year-old KU law student was an advocate for women's rights and had 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.

Jana's young life was filled with examples of a young successful activist. As an undergraduate women's studies student, she organized the Kansas delegation of Kansas women who marched on Washington D.C. in 2004. She served as a staff member on both state and national campaigns for female candidates. She actively participated in the Kansas Commission on the Status of Women. From 2004-2006, Jana served as a lobbyist at the Kansas State Capitol, where she represented the Kansas National Organization for Women.

Despite being one of the youngest lobbyists in the State Capitol, she effectively promoted a pro-women's agenda. Time and time again, Jana showed her courage and her ability as a skilled negotiator fighting for issues most important to women. Finally, Jana's short career included six years of volunteerism at the GaDuGi Safe Center. There, Jana was described as "honey on steel," working to reduce all forms of violence against women.

In March of 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, lobbying and political experience, Jana believed that a law degree was the next step in her journey to become the most effective advocate possible for women and other underrepresented groups.

Jana Lynne Mackey was the kind of woman that inspired others. She inspired through her words, her song, her actions. Jana was beautiful, intelligent and kind. She was an advocate, a friend, a sister, a daughter. She was magnetic. She was a bright spot in an ordinary day. She was a hero.

"Jana's Campaign is a group of advocates

committed to reducing domestic violence and

all forms of gender-based violence at every

level– locally, nationally and globally."

In honor of the late Jana Mackey and other victims of domestic violence, a committed group of activists created Jana’s Campaign Inc., with the single mission of reducing domestic and dating violence. “We believe it is our responsibility to use the story of Jana’s life and the story of her death to help reduce violence against women.” Through program activities, Jana’s Campaign aims to play a significant role in breaking the cycle of domestic violence and aspires to be a catalyst for social change.

Partnering with other advocates, victims, educators, the criminal justice system and lawmakers, Jana’s Campaign seeks to reduce and respond to domestic violence by pursuing a dual strategy. First, through public awareness related activities, the campaign encourages thousands of ordinary citizens to get actively involved in this serious issue. Secondly, Jana’s Campaign activists focus on the key issues of prevention and education, intervention programs, and public policy advocacy.

The life of Jana Mackey was about equality, love and justice. Jana’s Cam-paign, Inc. was created by her family and friends to help make Jana’s values become reality. We are confident that we are heading in the right direction in building a strong, caring and impactful organization that has the capability of producing powerful results.

We are a national group of activists, advocates and volunteers who are committed to continuing Jana’s work of protecting women. At the heart of our movement are Dr. Christie Brungardt (Jana’s mother) and Dr. Curt Brungardt (Jana’s stepfather). Both Christie and Curt are professors of leadership studies at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. Dr. Christie Brungardt’s expertise includes women and leadership and women’s studies, while Dr. Curt Brungardt specializes in political leadership, social change, and community organizing.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

“Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change

a small portion of events, and in total of all of those acts will be written the

history of a generation…. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage that

human history is thus shaped.”» Robert Kennedy 1966

Our vision is that Jana’s Campaign will play a significant role in reducing domestic violence. We believe that working with thou-sands of other passionate advocates from around the world, this social disease can be eradicated in a single generation. Simply, we plan to do our part to build a safer world.

The massive scale of social problems like domestic violence is often viewed as so overwhelming that it hinders our ability to act. The magnitude of the problem often discourages many of us and lends us to believe that we are helpless in making a real difference. We at Jana’s Campaign view this situation differently. We recast the larger social problem of domestic violence as a series of manageable issues; each with identifiable opportunities and solutions. In essence, gender-based violence can be effectively addressed by tackling smaller related issues, one by one, over an extended period of time. Many smaller incremental changes and improvements equals transformational change.

We at Jana’s Campaign endorse a strategy of pursuing smaller victories to address this massive social disease. To us, many small victories equals substantial progress. From doing prevention work at Hays High School, to expanding batterers intervention programs in Kansas, to lobbying for the national Violence Against Women Act, to our international public awareness videos, we believe the sum total of many minor improvements can substantially contribute to reducing gender-based violence on a large scale.

Jana’s Campaign has an unwavering commit-ment for results and impact that produces a series of small victories. Like building blocks, these improvements and program successes build on each other and reinforce positive change. We are a group of grassroots activists who have built an organization that focuses on producing results and creat-ing real impact.

ENGAGING MEN & BOYSTO STOP GENDER VIOLENCE

Jana’s Campaign believes that men and boys should be actively engaged in confronting male violence against women and girls. We believe “real men” take a stand and speak out against inequality, sexism, and violence against women. While only a small minority of men harm women, we recognize the importance that all men and boys should participate and be proactive in preventing such violence.

PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY

Jana’s Campaign believes that traditional government and other non-profit agencies should improve and expand their efforts to reduce domestic violence. Government actions, and the work of related non-government organizations, have a profound effect on how women experience freedom from domestic violence.
