What a morning! Together we packed emergency kits for victims of domestic violence and their children, then joined a powerful discussion with experts on how Rachel Coalition provides care, protection, and safety to survivors.

But we’re also facing a challenge: a $175,000 reduction in government funding that supports our domestic violence services.

You can help close this gap!

💜 Sharing from our team in honor of Purple Thursday.
We’re standing with survivors and raising our voices against domestic violence. Visibility matters — when we wear purple, we start conversations that can lead to safety, support, and change.

Join in by wearing purple and showing your support today. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels safe.

💜 It’s Purple Thursday! 💜
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and today we wear purple to stand in solidarity with survivors and to spark conversations that matter.

Our team is proud to join communities across the country in saying everyone deserves to feel safe — at home, in relationships, and in our community.

What can you do?
Wear purple. Start a conversation. Let’s make support for survivors visible.
