πŸ•―οΈ LIGHT UP THE CITY WITH US πŸ•―οΈ

Due to the weather forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Light Up the Lakefront gathering on October 1.

We know many of you made plans and put time, energy, and care into preparing for this evening, and we are disappointed that we won’t be able to gather together as planned.

But although we can’t gather at the lakefront, we can still light the way together. πŸ’œ

On October 1, we invite you to light a candle and place it in your window as a symbol of remembrance, solidarity, and our shared commitment to creating communities free from violence and abuse.

πŸ•―οΈ Light a candle.
🏠 Place it in your window.
πŸ’œ Share the light.

Take a photo of your candle and tag Between Friends so we can see our community lighting up the city together.

Let’s Light Up the City. πŸ’œ

⚽ During the World Cup, a red card means it's time to leave the game.

In relationships, certain behaviors deserve a red card, too. Controlling, isolating, or degrading someone are not signs of love, they're warning signs that should never be ignored.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and communication. Recognizing the signs of unhealthy or abusive behavior is an important step toward safety, for yourself or someone you care about.
