Shocking stats: 69.3% of bisexual women, 56.3% of lesbian women, 46.1% of bisexual men, and 47.7% of gay men report intimate partner violence. Compare this to 53.3% of heterosexual women and 29.3% of men. This is unacceptable! #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM

Our theme for this year's #DVAM is once again #Every1KnowsSome1. Because it's true. We all know some 1. That 1 can be a friend. Family member. Co-worker. Domestic violence doesn't discriminate. Join in on the conversation all month long and beyond! 💜

Threats to federal funding have immediate and severe consequences for survivors and their children, the programs they rely on, and the advocates who help them. Congress must act now to protect the lifesaving services survivors depend on! #FundSafetyNow #SupportSurvivors #DVAM
