In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) in October, AWARE will be hosting a "Lighting the Way to Peace" Campaign. Lighting the Way involves homes, businesses, agencies, and churches choosing to display purple-lighted elements (such as candles & lanterns) in their windows. These small symbols are a type of code- they let survivors know that YOU value their peace and safety, and that your home or business is a safe place for all survivors.When survivors know that they are not alone, they are more likely to get the help they need. And those who feel safe to tell their story are often an inspiration to others.
We invite you to be an ally this October with AWARE. Join our staff and supporters at the shelter on October 1st at 6pm to create our own purple light. You can even make one for a friend! We'll also be distributing lights for First Friday to downtown businesses that want to display our symbols of hope and unity for all to see.
Please contact Mandi at [email protected] with questions.
