Global Rights for Women recently released a report about how the Minneapolis Police Department responds to domestic violence cases. Some of the findings are alarming. I spoke with the author of the report, Melissa Petrangelo-Scaia, and the executive director of Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs in Duluth, Scott Miller. We discussed the findings and possible solutions. Listen on MPR News Minnesota Public Radio. https://lnkd.in/gUFGX2JJ

Friends and colleagues have asked how they can see our latest award-winning short film, This Is Where I Learned Not To Sleep. Excited to share that there is a LIMITED TIME opportunity to WATCH THE FILM AT HOME DURING DV AWARENESS MONTH (OCTOBER 1-31 ONLY). It's been inspiring to witness how this film and Lt. Mark Wynn's story, from childhood as a family violence survivor to powerful leader of reform, has inspired so many communities to build better safety nets for women and children survivors. Do you know someone who needs to see this film? Help us reach as many viewers as possible during October DV Awareness Month - we hope to reach at least 1,000 new viewers and inspire more men to stand up to take action in their community against domestic violence. Take a moment to forward this to your network! PAY WHAT YOU CAN rental from $3 to recommended $20 (or more - proceeds help support community outreach and screenings + impact discussions tour).
