Greetings!

Purple Ribbon CartoonWelcome to another Domestic Violence Awareness Month. If you are new to the violence against women movement, we suggest that you read our series of DV 101 blog posts and/or visit our website to acquaint yourself with our work.
 
The theme of our 2009 Candlelight Vigil is "You, Me, Together".  We have invited several speakers from DV advocacy community to relate how community involvement can make an impact on the various aspects of our work.  We hope you'll join us for our Vigil this Thursday at 7pm and will find your way to get involved, just like the folks below.
Band Together
Clark and Max'Band Together' was founded by brothers Maximilian Hines and Clark Williams after years of witnessing first-hand the harm domestic violence brought to their loved ones. Clark and Max don't think they look like typical domestic violence advocates, but they are passionate about and dedicated to the cause of ending violence against women.

With 'band together', they hope to spread awareness while creating alliances of young people who work to end dating and domestic violence in their own communities.  When you band together, you become part of a larger movement of youth and young adults dedicating themselves to peace in the home.

Proceeds from the purchase of the purple wristbands benefit Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence.  Look for students already sporting them on the campuses of Morehouse, Spelman, and UGA.To purchase a band or learn more, visit them on the web.
