October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time for us to come together to support survivors, raise awareness, and recommit to ending the cycle of violence in our communities.

The program will include remarks from elected officials, such as Senator Scott Wiener and City Attorney David Chiu, along with community leaders. You’ll also be able to connect with domestic violence service providers and gather resources for yourself and your community.
