#ShoutoutSunday! 💜

"The Santa Maria 7th Branch (Spanish-speaking) donated 22 hygiene kits to Domestic Violence Solutions last month as part of a Relief Society service project. Mikay was so grateful and she was confident it would help many women in need."

Thank you, @Edhat for sharing the Op-Ed by our E.D., Marilyn Simon-Gersuk.

"The trial may be larger than life, but the issues it raises around domestic violence, mental and physical abuse and trauma are painfully down to earth and all too common."

It’s not that @ruthmglenn believes one side over the other. It’s more that the inescapable memes and jokes on social media emanating from the trial have exacerbated the trauma of surviving abuse to another level. https://t.co/B2pgZQ6sKO

[Domestic Violence Solutions @dvsolutions_sb]

Last year, we provided 3,484 safe nights of shelter to DV survivors & their families. Your support ensures we can continue providing critical services to those who need it most 💜
