October is Domestic Violence Action Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. During the month of October victim advocates, allies, survivors of abuse, their loved ones, and the surrounding community come together to raise awareness of domestic violence and its impact on individuals, families, and communities. It is a time to connect, lift each other up, share resources, save space for each other, mourn lives lost, and celebrate progress towards ending domestic violence.

Everyone has a role in ending domestic violence and its impact on our communities, from staying connected to someone experiencing abuse, volunteering at nonprofit organizations serving survivors, to sharing resources with each other. We can all contribute to building safe and resilient communities. Read more.
