October 19-23, 2015, join NNEDV’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) Week of Action!

  • Monday, October 19 – Talk to a Friend about Domestic Violence

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.

Hosted by NNEDV – follow @NNEDV to join in!

  • Wednesday, October 21 – Donate to or Volunteer with NNEDV, your State/Territorial Coalition, or Local Program

Make your money matter! Support our work to address and prevent domestic violence and better meet the needs of victims and their families across the country. Find your state or territorial coalition and get involved locally.

  • Thursday, October 22 – Go Purple for #PurpleThursday

Help us paint the town purple! Wear or display purple to raise awareness, show your solidarity with survivors and their families, and take a stand against domestic violence.

  • Friday, October 23 – Call on Congress for Common-Sense Gun Legislation

Members of Congress need to hear from you on common-sense gun legislation that will help protect victims of domestic violence! Contact your Senators and Representative today!
