💜 THIS OCTOBER, WE AREN’T JUST RAISING AWARENESS — WE ARE CREATING CHANGE.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to come together, speak openly about domestic violence, listen to survivors, share resources, and remind our community that no one should have to experience abuse in silence or alone.
Domestic violence can affect anyone, and breaking the cycle begins with awareness, education, compassion, and action. It means knowing the signs, believing survivors, challenging the stigma that keeps people silent, and creating a community where asking for help is met with understanding — never judgment.
This year, we are especially grateful to see Eagle Pass and Maverick County continuing to have these important conversations and take meaningful steps toward supporting survivors. The opening of our first independent domestic violence shelter is one example of the progress that can happen when a community comes together with a shared commitment to safety and support. But our work does not end there — awareness must continue every day.
💜 To every survivor:
You are not alone. Your story matters. Your safety matters. Your future matters. You deserve to be heard, supported, and treated with dignity. There is no shame in asking for help, and you never have to face this journey alone.
🤝 To our community partners, city leaders, advocates, volunteers, donors, organizations, and community members:
Thank you for helping us keep this conversation going. Thank you for speaking up, sharing resources, creating opportunities for support, and helping our community understand that ending domestic violence is something we all have a role in.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or needs support, please reach out to us. We are here to listen, support, and help connect you with resources. 💜

💜 Because awareness can start a conversation, but a community that takes action can help change lives.
Eagle Pass. Maverick County. Together, we can break the cycle.
