Shine a purple light for domestic violence awareness
Get your purple lightbulbs now to prepare for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, when the Domestic Violence Roundtable encourages the community can stand in solidarity with survivors and their families by shining purple lights in their neighborhoods by adding purple lights to indoor lamps, porches or outside house lights.
