Together We Will Rise

Phoenix Guardian Alliance was born from a tragedy we could not ignore. Survivors of domestic violence are not just slipping through the cracks. They are falling through the ashes of a system that was never built to hold them.

Our team of survivors, DV experts, UN Women, USAID and Ivy League alumni is building the world’s first all-in-one digital lifeline for survivors of domestic violence, uniting human care, technology and AI into a complete survivor support ecosystem. What was once fragmented chaos becomes a single, unified protection shield, free and accessible at the touch of a finger.

The Phoenix™ App streamlines access to emergency response, safety planning, legal aid, mental-health support, safe housing, and economic empowerment. Together, we can create the clear pathway survivors need to break free and build true independence.

Every 9 seconds, a woman is beaten or abused in the U.S. alone. By the time you finish reading this, countless women and children will have been forced to navigate an uphill battle from crisis to safety. Far too many will never make it, not because they don’t want to leave, but because help is unavailable the moment they reach for it.
This is not a gap. It’s a system collapse.

We have all grown up with this crisis. We’ve watched friends, parents, partners, and children try to escape, only to remain trapped by fear, finances, or sheer lack of options. Some never make it out and too many of us know the agony of losing someone we love.

Phoenix is here to answer the call of those we’ve lost and those we still have a chance to save.

The Future We’re Building With Your Support

With your help, Phoenix is bringing modern tools, technology, and human connection to a system that has failed survivors for generations.

The Phoenix™ App unifies everything a survivor needs to escape and rebuild: emergency response, safe housing, mental-health support, legal advocacy, financial empowerment, encrypted evidence, safety planning, peer support, and real-time, trauma-informed navigation.

It’s the first digital triage tool built to help survivors get support faster, safer, more discreetly, and with fewer obstacles, so fewer people give up before they receive the help they deserve.

Phoenix App™ - What is Behind the Tap?

Phoenix App™, combines cutting-edge technology, AI & personalized human care to replace outdated, inefficient systems with innovative solutions and 24/7 support & safety. Behind the tap or a secret voice command are:

SOS Alerts → Silent voice commands trigger instant alert to 911, our Phoenix Command Center, friends/family and trauma-informed Guardian Legion volunteers - first dv specific volunteer corps for escorts, safe rides and peer support.
Personal Case Manager, SafeRides & Escorts → Survivors are never left alone, stranded or forced back to danger.
Housing & Shelter → Real-time referrals, instant bookings, secure accommodations through our alliance network of partners.
Legal & Mental Health Network → Over 50,000 national pro bono lawyers, on-demand therapists, and in-house advocates.
Phoenix Rise → Fast-track survivor independence with free job training and coaching in sales, accounting, marketing, digital services, real estate, and other career paths. Freedom from financial dependence in months, not years.
AI & Digital Protections → Encrypted evidence vault, disguise mode, secret recordings, DV prevention security protocols and safety planning, safety check-ins, and live GPS tracking.

No waitlists. No dead ends. Free and accessible 24/7 at the touch of a finger in seconds. Nothing like this exists.

And this is only the beginning. Phoenix is developing:

A nationwide DV-specific resource CRM so support networks can finally talk to each other.
A unified case-management platform so survivor journeys are never lost or fractured.
Phoenix SafeHaven, a sanctuary-style refuge where mothers and children can rest, recover, and rebuild in nature with full wraparound care.

But first things first! We need your help to finish building the Phoenix App and get it into the hands of millions of survivors across the country who urgently need a clear, rapid path to freedom.

The Silent Epidemic We are Fighting to Give a Voice

Domestic violence is not a “private problem.” It is a national emergency.

More than 10 million people experience domestic violence each year, not including children and roughly half of all cases go unreported. In California alone, 57% of women experiencing homelessness cite domestic violence as the primary cause, rising to 80% when a child is involved.

Over 70% of mass shootings since 2014 are linked to domestic-violence trauma.
Economically, DV costs the U.S. $8.5B a year, 8 million lost workdays, and 60% of victims losing their jobs.

These numbers are staggering because when survivors reach out for help, 60–80% are turned away by an overwhelmed, outdated system that fragments rather than protects.

Phoenix Beyond the App

Phoenix isn’t building a tool. We’re building an ecosystem.

Phoenix Command Center
Our 24/7 operational hub monitoring SOS alerts in real time, coordinating safe housing, therapy, legal support, and Guardian Legion escorts, ensuring no cry for help ever falls on deaf ears.

Guardian Legion
A first-of-its-kind national DV volunteer corps: Vetted, trained allies offering SafeRides, escorts, peer support, and crisis-aware presence during the most dangerous moments.

Guardian Circle
Each survivor gains a personal safety team: Case manager, therapist, legal advocate, Guardian Legion ally, trusted personal circle, and automated safety-check system providing continuous protection.

Phoenix Rise Economic Empowerment
Because safety is step one. Independence is the goal. Survivors receive job training, career coaching, financial literacy, mentorship, and hiring pipelines to rebuild long-term stability.

Phoenix SafeHaven
A serene, sanctuary-style refuge where mothers and children can heal, rebuild, and rest with trauma-informed care, childcare, therapy, and legal clinics.
