Purple Light Nights

11/18/2025

I am posting another resource called Helping Survivors, a proud partner of RAINN. Their mission is to assist anyone who has been victimized by sexual assault or abuse. The website is a compilation of information around different instances of sexual violence. We offer resources to assist survivors and their families, and we will continuously be adding more. For more info check out the link below:

Helping Survivors -

If you experienced rideshare sexual assault, you have rights and options to seek help and healing including filing a lawsuit against Uber or Lyft.

As we prepare for Domestic Abuse Awareness Month this October; a grime reminder that domestic (or intimate partner) abuse is the leading cause of injuries in women ages 15-44 in the US. This is more than car-jacking & r**e combined.
We all must show support to survivors & victims by installing a purple light in your front porch .

Domestic Violence Action Month starts October 1st . Be ready to show support for victims & survivors by installing a purple light (look for a black lite at least 55w) bulb in your front porch or window. It’s easy to do and it will help increase awareness in each neighborhood! One in three women will experience some form of domestic abuse - that is too many! SHINE A LIGHT - SAVE A LIFE 👍

I’m in AZ for a few months and breaking news story of another domestic violence call which resulted in the woman and 9 police officers were shot! Most officers will survive but it is another reminder of how serious DV calls are to the victim and officers who are on call.
