Past Events

Our events have successfully brought domestic violence prevention education to the community.

Our past events were nothing short of amazing! Take a look at our event history below and sign up for our quarterly newsletter for our future events.

4th Annual Community Tribute,
Domestic Violence Awareness Month

On October 5, 2023 we gathered the community to honor 103 lives taken by Domestic Violence in MN during 2023. Memory Lane honored them with compassion and joy, highlighting the uniqueness of everyone taken from their families. Speakers from the faith community, the city, a local business, a family, and the medical community spoke on how we must join the Prevention message. Uplifting live music moved our hearts and souls! Streamed live on Facebook, more than 1,000 people joined to support domestic violence prevention. Thank you to volunteers and everyone who, despite the weather, acknowledged the loss our communities endure.

Please join us on the first Thursday of October in 2024 to honor those we have lost and celebrate their lives.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION TIPS ~ KNOW THE SIGNS brought to you by MariasVoice.org ⚠️ Take 1 minute. Most people don’t learn the common signs of domestic abuse until it’s too late. You could save a life! APPEARANCE CHANGES 😞What does it feel like? My partner decides what I wear. They decide on my hairstyle or makeup. They call me names or forbid me to wear things I like to wear. If I want to wear tight or short clothing, I get accused of cheating. I may be forced to have cosmetic surgery I don’t want. 🫶🏽 Together we can PREVENT domestic abuse! Everyone has the right to live in a Safe Home and have Equal, Healthy Relationships!

Four years ago, our sweet Maria Pew, love of our life was taken from this world. We love her and miss her deeply. We want to recognize the First Responders who provide safety to our community, especially those they bravely assist during a domestic crisis. Most of those heroic actions do not make the news….conversations urging safety; the referral to resources for help; the kind and reassuring word that they will be there for them. First responders, those in Maple Grove and throughout the metro community, were there for our family and for Maria. They continue to be here for us, in their friendship and in their support of domestic violence prevention education. We are grateful to them. We continue our work in DV prevention, as that work has the ability to protect everyone of us. In Maria’s honor. . . . #domesticviolence #mariasvoice #dvprevention #mariasvoiceorg

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION TIPS ~ KNOW THE SIGNS brought to you by MariasVoice.org ⚠️ Take 1 minute. Most people don’t learn the common signs of domestic abuse until it’s too late. You could save a life! TECHNOLOGY ABUSE & STALKING 😞 What does it feel like? I get constant texts from my partner. I must answer right away. My saved contacts get deleted. My phone or computer gets broken or my service gets cut off. I’m forced to share my login information. I get blocked from accounts. GPS monitors my every move. 👀 What does it look like? Your friend’s partner texts or calls constantly. An immediate response is required. Their partner insists on knowing where they are at all times. You can’t reach your friend because they have no access to the internet, social/email accounts—or even their cell phone. 👍🏿 What’s a Safe Action? Point out that using technology to control or spy on a person is controlling or wrong. Listen without judgment if they choose to confide in you. National DV Hotline: Call 1-800-799-SAFE(7233), Text “START” to 88788, Chat Online: www.thehotline.org 💜 What’s a healthy sign? Partners trust each other and do not constantly check up on each other. Each partner gives the other independence. They don’t have to be involved in every part of each other’s lives. 🫶🏽 Together we can prevent domestic abuse! Everyone has the right to live in a Safe Home and have Equal, Healthy Relationships!
