October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Earlier this year, we proposed legislation to enhance protection for victims and to help address troubling trends in domestic violence-related crimes in our city.
But legislation isn't enough. We must all work together to end the cycle of violence and protect survivors.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, there are resources available.
