💜 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵.
At MayDay, we honor those whose lives have been taken, stand with survivors, and work toward a community where everyone can find safety and support.
Throughout October, we’ll share resources, statistics, and difficult truths about domestic violence. Some may feel uncomfortable. Meaningful change asks us to look honestly at how we recognize abuse, respond to people experiencing it, and support one another.
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆—and respond with greater understanding and care.
If you are a survivor and sharing feels right for you, MayDay would be honored to help share what you want others to understand. You might reflect on:
• What you wish people understood about domestic violence.
• What helped you feel supported—or what you needed and didn’t receive.
• What you hope our community will do differently.
You can share a few words or a longer reflection. You do not have to tell your whole story or revisit painful details. Your experience matters, and choosing to keep it private is equally valid.
🍃 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲.
If you’d like to explore sharing, contact MayDay privately. Together, we’ll discuss your preferences, privacy, and safety. Nothing will be posted without your informed consent and your review and approval. You can change your mind before publication, and we’ll discuss what public sharing could mean—including that posts may be copied or shared by others.
By listening to survivors and being willing to question our assumptions, we can change how our community approaches domestic violence—and how we support those affected by it.
