Friends! (that’s all y’all)…
What is systemic domestic violence? Systemic domestic violence is the cycle of domestic violence that continues because of “gaps”, including implicit bias and policies, that prevent community members from being able to use services. Victims, survivors, and witnesses don’t speak up due to fear — fear of shame, blame, guilt. The Tucson Quilt Project “Create A Square” project helps our community build habits in “speaking up” by empowering our community to express ourselves, without shame, blame, or guilt.
Coralie Chef Ghini Satta, local artist Lonnie Smith, local musician Al Perry, the Tucson Clay Co-op, Golden Pin Lanes, and Felicia Chew are teaming up to end systemic domestic violence!
Will you join us on July 28 from 4-6p during Happy Hour to enjoy delicious food and drinks, support three local businesswomen (Felicia Chew and Coralie Satta, and Marcella Watson) participate in a community art project with the Tucson Quilt Project and help end systemic domestic violence?
