Jessica Lastarza, owner and lead attorney at We Mediate CT, and her daughter Ainsley Lastarza are participating as co-captains of Team We Mediate & Ainsley in the Interval House Walk to End Domestic Violence on October 4, 2025. The annual event serves as a cornerstone for domestic violence prevention in Connecticut, drawing hundreds of participants to raise awareness and funds for survivors.
The team aims to raise $5,000 to support Interval House's critical services, which include emergency shelter, counseling, and legal advocacy for domestic violence survivors. With over $1,000 already secured weeks before the walk, the initiative demonstrates strong community commitment to addressing domestic violence. Lastarza emphasized that domestic violence often complicates divorce and separation processes, making safe resolutions even more crucial for family stability.
We Mediate CT specializes in collaborative divorce mediation and family law services that prioritize non-adversarial approaches. The firm's work aligns with Interval House's mission to end domestic violence through education, prevention, and empowerment. Community members can support the cause by registering for the walk at https://Interval House Event Page or making donations through the https://Team We Mediate Donation Page.
The participation holds particular significance as the walk honors the memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos, whose case brought heightened attention to domestic violence issues. Lastarza stated that walking in Dulos's memory reinforces how awareness and action can transform lives by ensuring safe homes for children and parents. This community effort highlights the ongoing need for domestic violence support services and the importance of legal approaches that prioritize safety and dignity.
