Partnership Against Domestic Violence

Our Candlelight Vigil is held each year to unite advocates and honor the lives lost to domestic violence in the state of Georgia. Although we may never know every name, we come together to both mourn loss and celebrate life. Thank you to everyone who joined us this year. We are so much stronger when we fight together. #domesticviolenceawareness #PADV

This evening’s event, Partnership Against Domestic Violence Candlelight Vigil is always bittersweet. Saying the names of those who lost their lives to domestic violence this year grounds me in why I serve. The testimonies of Katha D. Blackwell, LMSW and Madam Clerk Ché Alexander humbles and inspires me. Joy, hope and victory ARE on the other side. Thank you to all the partners for supporting PADV and survivors. Lisamarie Bristol Heather Brooks, MSW Bethany Beverly Tonya Lowmon, MPA
