The U.S. military has a domestic violence problem.
It is widespread. It is deadly. It is not new or secret. Decades of
studies, plans, and internal policies have done nothing to reduce it.
The Pentagon has long known about the significantly increased risk of
domestic violence by combat-exposed troops, yet has failed to properly
inform military members or their families, and has violated laws
mandating reporting on the problem.
Victims of military domestic violence are gathering in Washington, D.C., and pressuring Congress for action.
Join us to hear from and support their efforts on Monday, May 19 at 7 p.m. at Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th St NW.
Look forward to seeing you there!
