Silence No More Survivor Movement
Jun 11 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Silence No More Survivor Movement

Friday, June 11, 2021, 12-2PM, join The Silence No More movement as we honor and recognize survivors of domestic violence for their courage, strength, and perseverance and the individual support systems that are there long before police, restraining orders and court systems.

The Silence No More Movement is designed not to erase the past. But more importantly, to recognize the strength of a survivor and the support systems that got them there. It’s through experience, determination, passion, resilience, selflessness, and love that these individuals circle back to help change the mindset of current victims with hope for progress, justice, and healing.

The event will include remarks from the Loudoun County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office and local supporters of The Silence No More Movement.

The goal is for attendees to feel from listening, be uplifted from the stories of survival, and feel empowered to join the fight to guarantee that abuse will not continue to happen every 20 seconds in our nation.

This is a public event. RSVP is required.
Live Jazz and light appetizers.
