#endDV
So for this week, leading up to my birthday, I would like to spotlight some amazing organizations fighting against domestic violence and advocating for and uplifting the women, men, and nonbinary folk affected by DV.
This event still pains me to this day and I can't sleep unless I know I'm doing everything in my power to combat DV. While it may not be a comfortable topic, DV is extremely prevalent in our society and I believe it is imperative that we bring more attention to this issue.
Today's organization is "The Center Against Domestic Violence". This organization has been working for 40 years to offer safety, education, prevention, and hope for survivors of DV. Celebrate my bday with me by donating to this amazing cause! @CADVNY

Fantastic dialogue took place today on URI’s first-ever Facebook Live: “Domestic Violence & Pets: Protecting the Hidden Victim.” Watch it on https://t.co/EJu32wNTLs in case you missed it! #ProtectPetsToo#PALSxPurina https://t.co/86EuW1jqpE
70% of domestic violence victims say their pets were either threatened, harmed, or killed by their abuser.
You CAN actually help!

Shared parenting bills are stricter in nature, which means domestic violence victims would have to overcome an even tougher legal standard to prove abuse exists. But many victims of domestic abuse lack the money or resources needed to provide such evidence https://t.co/wkYshtno2c
As Mental Health Awareness Month continues it is important to remember the serious impact that domestic violence and sexual assault can have on a person's mind. For advice on how to reach out to a friend or family member who may need help please visit: https://t.co/n0SmSryGFW
"Spreading information, holding aggressors accountable for their actions, and not blaming victims help in combating domestic violence."
