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

Black women, girls, and non-binary people are seldom seen as victims. Instead, they are seen as deserving of harm or unable to be harmed. This perpetuates a long legacy of impunity for violence against them.@FriendsofYates Learn more: https://t.co/6pt6dpOxsY #BlackHistoryMonth

Community's may have implicit or explicit bias formed against an African American woman preventing her from receiving the help she needs to flee an abuser. .@FriendsofYates we work to erase the double-bind of racism and sexism . https://t.co/CMFtFfP04z

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.

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.
