Every purple light tells a story — of strength, survival, and community care. 💜 The City of Renton continues to shine bright this Domestic Violence Awareness Month, reminding us that safety and support are community efforts. We’re deeply grateful for the city’s long-standing partnership with DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women’s Network) — and for the shared commitment to helping survivors rebuild their lives. As Renton lights up purple, we remember: 💜 Domestic violence can affect anyone. 💜 Everyone deserves safety and dignity. 💜 Together, we can make a difference. 🎥 Watch how the City of Renton, advocates, and DAWN are standing together to shine the light — and save lives. 📞 If you or someone you know needs help: (425) 656-7867 💜 Donate to support survivors: https://bit.ly/dawndailydonations #DVAM #PurpleLightNights #CityOfRenton #DAWN #SupportSurvivors #enddomesticviolence https://youtu.be/mVXK09no9Ro?si=7un3xf6rNin_c0BU
