Take A Stand is a call to action meant to bring attention to the

issue of domestic violence for Domestic Violence Awareness

Month (DVAM) and throughout the year. By taking a stand we in-

tend to remind the nation that there are still countless people--

victims and survivors, their children and families, their friends and

family, their communities--impacted by domestic violence. We,

all of us, should not stop until society has zero tolerance for do-

mestic violence and until all victims and survivors can be heard.
