The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) invites you to join our National Week of Action from Monday, Oct. 19 through Friday, Oct. 23.

Talk it out! Though 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime, many are silent. Talk about abuse with friends, family, and coworkers this week. Break the silence, show your support, and build a community that is ready to end domestic violence.

Tuesday, October 20 – Join our Twitter Chat on Domestic Violence & Housing at 3 PM (EST)

Hosted by NNEDV – follow @NNEDV to join in!
