This month, LLCC is partnering with Sojourn Shelter & Services, Crisis Center Foundation and the national #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign, which emphasizes that everyone knows someone affected by domestic violence, whether they realize it or not.

Domestic violence affects people from all walks of life, regardless of gender, orientation, socioeconomic status, age, race or nationality. High rates of domestic violence are not private, individual problems; they require community solutions and systems change.

We all have a part in stopping it. The first step is recognizing what domestic violence is and saying something if you see it happening. By acknowledging this reality and standing together as a united front, we can address the root causes of domestic violence and create safe communities where everyone can thrive.
