Today is 'Purple Thursday' in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month's 'Week of Action'
October 14-20 is National Week of Action for October's Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Thursday is commemorated by wearing purple to show support for survivors of domestic violence, and for ending domestic violence everywhere.
Join Advocates in rocking some purple to show your support for survivors of domestic violence. Please make sure you tag them on Facebook or Instagram with #NVPurpleDay & #PurpleThursday.
Also, if you wear purple to Classy Seconds Thrift Store, which is run by Advocates to End Domestic Violence, you'll get 25 percent off.
"By rocking the purple with wearing it, painting your fingernails purple, wearing a purple ribbon, etc., it can help to spark a conversation, all while showing your support for survivors," said a spokesperson for Advocates.
Follow the Advocates to End Domestic Violence Facebook page for daily updates on their programs and services, upcoming events, and activism throughout the month of October, and share any of their posts that make an impact on you.
