Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is over six months away, providing plenty of time to begin planning for awareness campaigns around the state. MOCADSV has created two letter templates to share with your city government to light cities across the state purple on October 19, 2024, for Missouri’s Domestic Violence Awareness Day.

The Coalition created two template letters, one for cities that already change the lighting in their city buildings for different events, and one for cities that currently do not already participate. The letters encourage members of your city government to change the lighting to purple for Missouri’s Domestic Violence Awareness Day by explaining the history of the awareness day and highlighting the importance of spreading community awareness.

Join us in lighting the state purple by sharing these letters with your local city governments. Click here to access the templates.
