Night of Solidarity was an evening of stories, songs and conversations, all centered on standing with survivors of domestic violence and deepening public understanding of this issue and its solutions (yes, there are solutions).
It’s time to stop seeing domestic violence as the background noise in the lives of those impacted, and instead see it as a problem we can solve, together, as a movement.
