Annual Walk/Run to benefit the Angels of Mercy’s Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence-prevention and healing programs! WHY:
Join us again for our annual 5k/1mile fun run/walk! We adapted our fundraiser for the safety and needs of our community last year and it was a great success. We have decided until further notice this is the way to best run our event…. virtual!
“We also saw a significant increase, for us, in calls from adults who were sexually assaulted or rape,” Campbell said.
“That can help them find safe shelter, talk about their safety options, and really connect them to the services they need, during this time and even after this time.”
“Now people are trapped in their homes, sometimes unsafe, non respectful loving homes.”
Under the new Pennsylvania law, a judge is required to order a person to surrender firearms if they are the subject of a PFA order entered after a contested hearing.
“That trauma leads them to make decisions that those of us with adult, non-traumatized brains might not make. And they end up facing prosecution and prison for those decisions. And, in that way it concretely criminalized their trauma.”
