    Did you know that nearly one million women alive today have been shot or shot at by an intimate partner? The presence of a gun dramatically increases lethality in domestic violence situations.

    Please join Project Awaken & the Women’s Center on Tuesday, October 27th at 5:30 PM via Zoom for a free event on the intersection of gun violence and domestic violence. This program will be facilitated by a trained Everytown for Gun Safety educator & gun violence survivor. Join us for this informative event and meaningful discussion.
