Carolyn’s note: I have my purple long sleeved tshirt ready to wear for Wear Purple Day. For the DV Awareness month, I’ve already been to a candidate forum on this issue, plus a victims/survivors’ play called “23 Bruises” at the Loft. For other activities this month, here’s my previous post:
It’s Wear Purple Day for DV Awareness. I’m going to wear my bright purple long sleeved tshirt. Last year I went over to the Emerge! Center Against Sexual Abuse center to have my photo taken, all in purple, which was shared on FB. Their DV Awareness month calendar says to take your photo today and share on social media, tagging Emerge! or send to communications@emergecenter.org. Here’s the link to their calendar:
