Our thoughts are with the friends and family of Melinda “Mindy” Brugger.
Domestic Violence exists behind closed doors in EVERY community.
The most dangerous time is when a victim decides to leave.
Victims need to be assured they will get the safety and justice they deserve when they make the courageous decision to leave.
We must build a robust advocate network that is beholden ONLY to the victim.
Let's stand together and speak up for Mindy and those who feel the need to suffer in silence. You're not alone.
