Wear purple tomorrow for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Hi friend,
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I want to say this loud and clear: Domestic violence is a gun violence issue.
Tomorrow is #WearPurple Day -- can you show your support for survivors of domestic violence by wearing purple tomorrow? ([link removed])

Every 16 hours, a woman is fatally shot by her partner -- so we are demanding an end to the “boyfriend loophole.”
At least 54% of mass shootings are committed by abusers -- so we are demanding universal background checks.
A woman is 500% more likely to die in a domestic violence situation when a gun is present -- so we are demanding federal extreme risk protection orders.
Black women are 2x more likely to be fatally shot by an intimate partner than white women -- so we are demanding bold, comprehensive, and intersectional legislation to end this epidemic.
We cannot look at preventing one form of violence without looking at the other. Gun violence and domestic violence are connected -- and they are both public safety epidemics.
Sign on and share our Peace Plan, which demands action to end these epidemics through a comprehensive plan. ([link removed])
By raising the standards of gun ownership, we can save lives and help break the cycle of domestic violence. We have the power to demand change and make our country safer, both in our neighborhoods and in our homes.
Remember to #WearPurple tomorrow, October 24th, to show your support for survivors everywhere. ([link removed])
Thanks for your support,
