October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and all month long we are bringing attention to the lethal problem of Domestic Gun Violence. Every week, nine American women are shot dead by their husband or intimate partner, according to a new report from the Violence Policy Center. Yet Congress refuses to act on the most common-sense measures to keep guns out of the hands of abusers.  Throughout October, we’ll demand action from Congress to #Savethe9 women who die every week because their violent partner has access to a gun.CALL CONGRESSMAN CHRIS SMITH District 4 -  202-225-3765 AND TELL HIM YOU ARE A WOMAN AND YOU WANT HIM TO SUPPORT HR1565 NEED HELP? If you are in an abusive situation and need help, call National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224. Monmouth Moms For Gun Sense
