In <br /> choosing to locally proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Anoka County shows its <br /> recognition of both the gravity of the problem and the importance of the ongoing work to create a violence-free <br /> community in the region. The county's proclamation will add to the chorus of voices insisting that women, men, <br /> and children all have a right to seek peace and safety in their lives. <br /> Alexandra House is proud of its partnerships with all the communities throughout Anoka County. In this spirit, <br /> we will display all proclamations at our annual Walk for Hope: Steps to End Domestic and Sexual Violence on <br /> our social media platforms and website. This event, attended by over 500 participants every year, challenger <br /> our community to confront the impact of domestic and sexual violence. Additionally, it provides a space for <br /> survivors, family members, friends, and allies to honor those who have lost their lives as a result of domestic <br /> violence. <br /> Please contact our Communications Marketing Manager, Tina Bronson at tbronsonCa),alexandrahouse.ora or <br /> 763-656-1363 if you have any questions regarding this request. Also enclosed for your reference is a sample <br /> you may wish to use to compose your proclamation. Thank you for your consideration and support of this <br /> important cause. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Connie Moore <br /> Executive Director <br /> 26 <br />
