Happy 30th Anniversary Randi!
It's hard to believe that 30 years ago on May 14, 1990, Randi Bregman first walked through the doors of Vera House. Randi began her journey as Coordinator of the Syracuse Area Domestic Violence Coalition and in 2001, she transitioned into the role of Executive Director. Randi has led our agency to new heights while keeping the Vera House mission close to her heart.
Just a few of her tremendous accomplishments include:
- Overseeing a merger with the Rape Crisis Center of Syracuse in 2005
- Securing new office sites for our growing organization in 2007 and 2017
- Enhancing our programming to offer innovative services such as the Men's Outreach Program in 2010 & Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Training in 2018
Please help us honor and recognize Randi's dedication with a donation to support the life-changing work of Vera House.
Donate to Randi's 30th Anniversary Fund now.
Your contribution will help us achieve our vision of creating a world free of violence and abuse. Whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps.

Thank you for your support and HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY, RANDI! We love you!
A Message to Andrew Cuomo
“The Friends of Andrew Cuomo” spent over $300,000 to launch an ad campaign designed to paint former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a victim of political attacks because of the sexual harassment claims against him. We cannot allow this gaslighting to continue while the ad revictimizes victims of not only Cuomo’s sexual harassment but ANYONE who has ever experienced abuse. The tactics used by Cuomo and his supporters further represent the barriers that survivors face every day that prevent them from coming forward and getting support.
We at Vera House have asked Andrew Cuomo to take accountability for the harm he has caused on multiple occasions. Instead of admitting to his wrongdoings, he continues to use power and control to suppress and invalidate the truths of the survivors. Today we released a video, produced by Solon Quinn Studios and supported by Survivors’ Network, that sends a powerful message to survivors, "I believe you."
We are asking you to help us amplify the video so that survivors throughout New York and the rest of the world know that we believe and stand with them.
Here’s how to get involved:
1. Share our post on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter
2. Engage with our content on Instagram and TikTok
3. Share survivor support resources from your organization
4. Tag @verahouseinc
