QueerCalendarOctober is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜
Domestic violence affects people in all types of relationships, including LGBTQ+ relationships, and can impact safety, well-being, and independence.
At In Our Own Voices, we recognize that LGBTQ+ BIPOC survivors have unique needs around the ways we heal, grieve, seek safety, and pursue justice after experiencing violence. We stand with survivors and remain committed to creating communities where everyone feels seen, heard, supported, and safe.
This October, join our Anti-Violence Services team for three free community events focused on healing, self-defense, and financial safety. Together, we can build connection, confidence, and support for LGBTQ+ survivors. 💜
