We have organized several events to display The Silent witness Project. The Silent witness project consists of life-size silhouettes with narratives representing people who have died due to a domestic violence incident from January 1, 2022, to August 23, 2022. We gather our narratives from our state-wide domestic and sexual violence coalition Jane Doe inc. These narratives focus on honoring the men, women, and children who died this year in the state of Massachusetts due to domestic violence. Please helps us in bringing awareness to these critical issues; together, we can make violence socially unacceptable in our community. I promise you; that you'll be touched and enlightened. These events are free. Below are the dates and times of the different events. October 5 from 10:00 am- 2:00 pm at the Beverly Commons. October 7 will be a rain date for the Beverly Commons. October 13 at 3:00 pm at the City Hall Lawn for the Mayoral Proclamation. October 20 at 4:00 pm at the North Shore Music Theatre. I will also collaborate with HAWC for the Working to Heal Breakfast, where the Silent Witness Project will be displayed on October 6 at 7:30 am at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem. You can buy tickets to this event on HAWC's website https://hawcdv.org/. We look forward to seeing you all at all or at least one of the events; please get in touch with me if you have any questions. I will be sending out fliers and reminders as the dates get closer. Thank you all for your time and dedication to ending domestic and sexual violence for everyone.
