October is domestic violence awareness month. For the fourth year, The Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) is organizing "Shine the Light on Domestic Violence" campaign to turn New York State purple. Why Purple? Purple is the color chosen to help spread awareness of domestic violence. By turning the state purple, the campaign hopes to spark discussion and raise awareness about this devastating problem that effects the lives of so many New Yorkers.
