[Organization Name] joins NNEDV, PCADV in #Every1KnowsSome1 Month-Long National Campaign to Raise Awareness about Domestic Violence

[CITY, DATE] – [Organization Name], a leading local nonprofit dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence, is proud to announce its partnership with the national #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This collaborative effort aims to shed light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence and empower people to come together as communities to address this epidemic.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month, held annually in October, allows communities nationwide to join forces to raise awareness about the far-reaching impact of domestic violence. The #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign focuses on the theme that everyone knows someone affected by domestic violence, whether they realize it or not.

One in three women, one in four men, and nearly half of LGBTQ+ people will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. High rates of domestic violence are not private, individual problems; they require community solutions. By acknowledging this reality, we can collectively work towards ending domestic violence and creating safe, healthy communities for everyone.

We encourage everyone in the community to get involved and support the campaign during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Some key highlights of the campaign include:
