Invitation to participate in groundbreaking online
event
As I’m sure you know, October is Domestic
Violence Awareness Month. This year I’m going
to be running a month-long special project. As
someone who has been an activist in the field for
nearly 10 years, I have never seen a discussion of
this kind occur online or anywhere else.
I’ve asked professionals in the field and
others to answer a single question:
What would the ultimate domestic violence
program look like?
I very much believe this event could well set
the stage for future reforms and changes that are
desperately needed, if publicly-accessible programs
are to fully serve the public. Past events such as
the conferences sponsored by the California
Alliance for Families and Children
were excellent starting points in evidencing the
need. Now it is time to begin to discuss what form
positive changes in programs could take.
Visitors to the site are encouraged to take part
in the discussion. Since I realize comments may be
shorter than you need, you may also e-mail ideas to
thezonie@dishmail.net
For this event, the rules of the comments
section will be slightly different than usual.
Under normal conditions, I allow almost anything
but spam and profanity. In this case, anything
interpreted as a personal attack against any of my
guest posters will also be removed. I’ll be
monitoring the site closely, so please be
respectful of these people who’ve so
graciously contributed their hard work and time to
the issue of making life a little bit easier for
families affected by intimate partner abuse.
