As comes to a close, we're reminded that the collective strength of Hispanic and Latine communities is a powerful catalyst for progress.⭐ This month, as we celebrate the visionaries who inspire us, their vibrant cultures, and their remarkable achievements that enrich our world, we honor the trailblazing Latina women who are rewriting our HerSTORY🧡 and supporting our mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.✊

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.💜
⭐Congress must urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to expedite the release of all congressionally approved Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) funding.⭐
🛑These delays are putting survivor services at risk—forcing programs to consider staff cuts, reduced services, and even closures. Survivors can’t wait.✋
Repost this message and reach out to your members of Congress today by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121.

During 💜Domestic Violence Awareness Month💜, we recognize that young people are facing unique challenges related to unhealthy relationships, digital abuse, and systemic violence. Their voices often go unheard, yet they are leading powerful movements for accountability, healing, and change. ✊
This October, through storytelling, education, and advocacy, we’re elevating youth perspectives, fostering dialogue, and empowering the next generation to create a future free from gender-based violence. ➡Join us for any of our DVAM events, where together with community partners, we come together to recognize survivors, raise awareness, and work toward a future free from violence.🛑

💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month Myth vs. Fact 💜
➡Fact: Domestic violence can be physical, emotional, financial, and psychological.
Abuse may look like constant criticism, manipulation, controlling access to money, online stalking, threatening messages, or sharing private images without consent. Not all abuse leaves visible bruises, but all abuse can have lasting impacts.⏳
⭐This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let's expand our understanding of abuse and help create communities built on respect, safety, and healthy relationships.✊
