@DCCADV Rebecca here! Support your local DV org! Ask if you can volunteer or if they need donations. You can also volunteer at DV-adjacent orgs! Survivors utilize resources like food pantries or clothing closets, so the help and compassion they receive there will be extremely valuable

Elena and Rebecca number 7 is for you. How can I be involved with DV awareness outside the month of October? #spreadlovedc

Happening now! #DVAM #SpreadLoveDC

@DCCADV Rebecca here! It’s important to raise awareness about domestic violence because the more educated we are about the problem, the better chance we will have to identify and combat it! #spreadlovedc

Rebecca and Flora will respond to question 4; which is: Why do we need to raise awareness about domestic violence?

@DCCADV about 1 in 3 self-identified women and 1 in 4 self-identified men experience DV. The numbers are worse in marginalized communities

@DCCADV Rebecca here! Domestic violence (DV), as defined by the National DV Hotline, is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. DV can include physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and technical abuse.

Our 3rd question is a two part question: What is domestic violence? How common is it? Panelist Rebecca G. will respond.

JCADA is excited to participate in @DCCADV's Twitter chat this afternoon to talk about DVAM! Be sure to follow along, and don't forget to register for our 20th Year Anniversary! jcada.org/anniversary
