Domestic Violence... Not On My Watch

Domestic Violence.... NOT ON MY WATCH Domestic abuse leads to more than 30,000 deaths each year in the United States. That's over 82 people per day - which includes women, children, and men. Twenty percent (approximately 6,000) of these deaths are innocent bystanders. It has been reported that this number is a far stretch from the total number of soldiers killed in the war on Afghanistan. The reality: we are losing more people to senseless deaths right here on our own soil, than we lose in a war to protect it. Domestic Violence is increasingly plaguing our communities. The news reports of fatalities from domestic violence are continuing to air on the nightly news. Funerals and memorials are still being planned each day. Candlelight vigils are still being held around the world. Lobbyists are feverishly working across the nation to move the needle forward towards the goal of eradicating domestic violence. We all must do our part. #SEESOMETHINGSAYSOMETHINGDomestic Violence...NOT ON MY WATCH, is a call for all community members to take a seat at the table and learn how each of our roles are interdependent in the goal of saving lives.
