Support the fight against domestic violence
As you may already know, I work in a local district attorney's office. I've been here, oh, a little over six years. It is certainly an education and I would even encourage everyone to volunteer some of your time at your local DA office.
Today our Domestic Violence Unit DDA sent out the following email. I pass it on to you.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. An organization that does excellent work on the national level to educate the community in the fight against domestic violence is the Family Violence Prevention Fund. Among their efforts that you may have seen is the compelling public service announcement that shows the young boy on the stairs listening to his mother being abused by her partner. A couple of years ago, our office arranged for this PSA to be shown all around the county on several stations. This PSA was provided to us by the Fund at no cost.Shop at Marshalls on Thursday, October 7, and Marshalls will donate a percentage of the sale to the Family Violence Prevention Fund. Thursday is the eleventh annual Shop Til It Stops Day, which has raised nearly a million dollars to stop domestic violence. To locate a Marshall's near you, go to Mashall's online.
Thanks for listening.
