Thank you to those who were able to join us for the launch of the 2022 iPledge® Campaign, and welcome to the official start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

We were joined by hundreds of survivors, community partners,

elected officials and lots of sunshine for a successful launch of our

2022 iPledge® Campaign on Wednesday, September 28th at

noon in the Philadelphia City Hall Courtyard.

ICYMI, HERE'S A RECAP OF OUR 2022 IPLEDGE® CAMPAIGN LAUNCH!

• State Senator Vincent Hughes underscored the importance of sufficient resources for people experiencing domestic violence and the programs that serve them.
• We were honored to hear from Candace, a child survivor of domestic violence who left the audience inspired as she shared the many ways she took the lead by building a life of safety and freedom for herself and her children!
• John Chin, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation, led a group recitation of our pledge against violence to conclude the event.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is just starting.

Here's how you can make a difference:

iPledge® calls on everyday Philadelphians to get involved in

the effort to end relationship violence during

Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

This year’s theme, TAKE THE LEAD, underscores our resolve to make continued progress in the effort to end domestic violence, while calling on the community to get involved.

We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of this year's

speakers and participants!
