We’re only two weeks into October, and I’ve tracked about 175 news items from traditional media and blogs all over the US. The first ten days was mainly about various fundraisers and events, now we get into the important news!

There has never been a better time to contact your local media and government officials and have your voice heard! Communities all over the country have begun to question their domestic violence programs, laws, and procedures. It’s time for you to speak up and be a force for change! You can have the most impact at the local level, which is where the changes are beginning. District attorneys, law enforcement administrators, public officials of all kinds will soon be involved in re-visiting old policies that no longer serve their communities.

Every media outlet mentioned in the DLJ has heard from me – now it’s your turn to add your voice! Check the DLJ for activities in your local area.
