Friends of Yates needs your plants! 🪴🎋🌱🌿
We have a healing garden here at Friends of Yates that helps the domestic violence victims we serve heal from trauma. Today, we're asking for fruit and vegetable plant donations, as well as soil and gardening equipment.
1 isn’t just a number, it’s SOMEONE - a family member, a neighbor, a coworker, a friend. Domestic violence affects all of us, and all of us must be part of the solution. You can be a part of the solution by making a gift to support survivors today! #GiveForDV#Every1KnowsSome1
@KCSDV Thank you @KCSDV and @MayorTyrone for supporting @FriendsofYates and always ensuring equitable and quality services are provided to everyone throughout Wyandotte County and the state of Kansas.
"It is because of the groundbreaking accomplishments of African American leaders and pioneers of the past, determined to see positive change; that African American leaders and pioneers of today continue to break barriers." @FriendsofYates

https://t.co/rzsbse5QLi via @YouTube Can you identify stalking? There are many behaviors that can be part of a stalker’s pattern! While a stalker’s tactics may or may not be criminal on their own, these behaviors can become criminalized as part of a stalking pattern of behavior.
This January marks the eighteenth annual National Stalking Awareness Month! #NSAM2022 Stalking is a serious and prevalent crime that deserves our attention. Join efforts this month and empower our communities to KNOW IT, NAME IT, and STOP IT. #KnowItNameItStopIt
There are 64K+ Black women & girls missing in the U.S. BW & girls are overrepresented in missing person cases, receive less media attention, & their cases remain open 4X longer than others. We are overdue for a community response. Proud my bill became law & ready to get to work.
