'Journey of Hope' domestic violence awareness listening tour

The National Network to End Domestic Violence and HopeLine® from Verizon have teamed for a cross-country listening tour to collect and share the stories of people affected by domestic violence. Georgians can take part in this powerful movement as the "Journey of Hope” bus rolls into Atlanta October 11—during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 

Join us to share your stories of hope and encouragement and learn more about domestic violence prevention resources available.

By touring the Journey of Hope bus, visitors touched by domestic violence can video record their own messages on smartphones and tablets to be uploaded to Facebook in order break the silence surrounding this devastating social issue.
