The Second Step

In times of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that together we can do extraordinary things. Together, we can uplift one another, support our shared goals, and create lasting change. We are so grateful for our community and know that the future is filled with possibilities. In a week that may be overwhelming and emotional, take the time you need to care for yourself. If you or someone you know needs support regarding domestic violence, you can call our intake line at 617-965-2538 or visit our website to speak with an advocate. We are here for you. #TheSecondStep #DVAwareness #SupportEachother

Saoirse Ronan’s words resonate deeply in our ongoing fight against domestic violence. Her courage to speak out amplifies a critical truth: violence against women is pervasive and must be addressed with urgency. It’s a reminder that our collective voice is powerful, and by raising awareness, supporting survivors, and challenging harmful norms, we can drive change. Together, let’s commit to a world where all individuals are safe from violence. https://lnkd.in/esGegamA
