Livingston County will be illuminated in purple lights when LACASA Center launches its community-wide Glow awareness campaign in October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. A Glow Gathering kicks off LACASA’s awareness activities on Friday, Sept. 29, at the Brighton Millpond in downtown Brighton.
Throughout October, area businesses and residents are invited to display purple lights on store fronts and home fronts along with awareness yard signs. String lights and yard signs are available for a nominal donation at the LACASA Collection, LACASA Center’s charity resale store in Howell. Purple is the cause color for domestic violence.
LACASA’s Glow Gathering is set for 7-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29, at the Brighton Millpond and Amphitheater. The public is invited to participate in this free event, which will feature shared voices, music and movement to honor the courage of survivors and remember victims who have lost their lives to domestic violence.
“This annual event provides a way for members of the community to show support for victims, survivors, and their families,” said Kayla Grant, LACASA’s Director of Social Change Advocacy. “We encourage area residents to join us in raising awareness about domestic violence by attending our Glow Gathering and by displaying purple lights in October.”
