Dear friend,

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we’re excited to invite you to our special Building Community Call on October 26th at 2pm CT/3pm ET. We’ll be joined by a dynamic and inspirational group of panelists:  

• Karin Tyler, Family Violence and Injury Prevention Manager, City of Milwaukee Health Department
• Kei Williams, National Organizer, Marsha P. Johnson Institute
• Shelli Egger, Staff Attorney, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid 

In the U.S., 4.5 million living women report having been threatened with a gun by an intimate partner. The presence of a gun during an intimate partner dispute makes it 5 times more likely that the woman will be killed. It is clear that ending intimate partner violence is a crucial step in the fight to ending gun violence. 

Join us as we discuss the important work happening to address the intersection of intimate partner violence and gun violence. Community Justice remains committed to calling on leaders to step up and understand the root causes of intimate partner violence, treat it as a public health issue, and invest in community solutions that empower and support survivors and their communities before gun violence occurs. 

I can’t wait to see you there! 

In solidarity,  

Thia’a Rahman
