Domestic Violence Awareness Month Memorial Vigil
October 1 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Save the date for PCADV’s #DVAM Memorial Vigil on October 1, 2024. #Every1KnowsSome1 impacted by domestic violence, and everyone has a place in the movement to end domestic violence. Join us from 6-7 p.m. at the state capitol in Harrisburg, PA as we remember the lives lost to domestic violence over the past year, honor the resiliency and hope of survivors, and recognize the hard work of domestic violence advocates across the state.
We are thrilled to announce our three featured speakers!
- Ruth Glenn, an acclaimed author, survivor, and leader in the movement to end domestic violence for over 30 years; Ruth is the president of Survivor Justice Action and the former National Coalition Against Domestic Violence CEO
- Senator Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia/Montgomery), whose proposed SAFE Housing Trust Fund would establish funding for domestic violence programs to expand transitional and permanent housing services for survivors
- Representative Lisa Borowski (D-Delaware), who has been a champion for survivors, prioritizing their safety by allowing early lease termination
