THANK YOU!!!
Dear Undestructable Community,
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Undestructable is dissolving effective immediately.
It is important to us that we are transparent with our beloved community about why we’ve come to this conclusion. It was not a quick nor an easy decision, but unfortunately a necessary one. In addition to organizational and financial capacity issues, nationwide funding cuts to survivor services have made it impossible for Undestructable to continue sustainably.
We intimately understand the justified anger and grief that comes with existing under an administration in which the livelihood of survivors and other vulnerable groups is not valued. We honor the five years of impact Undestructable has made since our founding in 2020 and ask that you use your position protect those in need and to fight the fascism that actively furthers the marginalization of those already suffering.
We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you in our community; for your time, gifts, collaboration, and trust; for everyone who believed in our mission. Thank you. We couldn’t have done this without you.
As our society evolves and shifts, and as Undestructable comes to a close, we must find new ways stay engaged, continue to support local groups doing this life-saving work, and always advocate for systems that center survivors’ safety, justice, and agency. We ask that you do not lose hope, even in times like this, as the movement to end intimate partner violence and gender based violence is far from over.
If you have questions or need additional information during this transition, please contact our founder and executive director, Cora Lee Poole at 503.866.7894 or coralee@undestructable.org.
With deepest appreciation and grattitide,
Undestructable

current impact
Since March 2022, we have been working directly with folks who have experienced intimate partner violence by providing job-readiness and self-sufficiency classes. Over the course of 6 weeks, survivors learn tools to: recognize their own skills; create a budget; craft a visually appealing resume and cover letter; navigate job search platforms; and use Google Workspace. Survivors progress through the curriculum as a cohort so they can build a community of support.
This will continue to be our model until we are able to secure funding to expand our services and bring our future vision to life.
future vision
The vision of Undestructable is to be a survivor-centered and empowerment-based job readiness and employment program focused on economic security and environmental sustainability.
This vision will be realized through a jobs skills training curriculum where survivors will learn how to create and sell goods from reclaimed materials, navigate the job search process, learn basic financial management skills, and build community.
The profits from the sale of goods being produced will help provide sustainable funding to the organization to ensure we can continue offering employment to survivors. Economic independence for survivors of DV/IPV can provide the stability needed to secure safety and move forward from their trauma.
Undestructable’s goal is to empower survivors by providing a safe space to reclaim, reimagine and rebuild their lives after experiencing the trauma of DV/IPV, and to create a future for themselves that is safe, stable, and sustainable.
Our motto is:
RECLAIM. REIMAGINE. REBUILD.
Will you help us bring this vision to life?
