NC NO MORE Day

Today, March 13, 2013, is NO MORE Day in North Carolina. 

What does that mean? It means that I am standing with many other people across the state to say NO MORE to domestic violence and sexual assault. According to the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence, this campaign was created to "galvanize change and radically increase the awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault in our communities." 

I survived sexual assault at the ages of 16 and 19, and my aunt lost her life to domestic violence on March 14, 2012. I have a daughter, nieces, and nephews, and I don't want them or anyone else to suffer the pain of sexual assault and/or domestic violence.

This movement is sponsored by the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Please visit their websites and Facebook pages to see how you can join the campaign. Tweet #NCNOMORE and tell the world why you say no more.
