Event Details

On average, more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country every day.(Bureau of Justice Statistics Crime Data Brief, Intimate Partner Violence, 1993-2001, February 2003. Bureau of Justice Statistics, Intimate Partner Violence in the U.S. 1993-2004, 2006.)

One such woman was Forty-eight-year-old Alice Jenkins Everette who was sitting in her car in the drive-thru line shortly before 9 a.m. when her husband, Daniel Lunie Everette, 52, tracked her down, according to Prince William County police. Reports later showed that Alice had been going through years of abuse, documenting threats and violence. Alice, had even had a restraining order,  but on Thursday, February 17th, her life was cut short, leaving behind three beautiful children and a broken community.

Domestic Violence is a growing problem and a crime, and we want to show that we refuse to sit back and continue to allow such tragedies to take place!

We are calling for all those that want to see an end to the cycle of abuse join us for this event!

We will have a panel discussion with various speakers, and experts in the field of Domestic Violence.  We are inviting the family and friends of Alice as well as other victims to come and be a voice for those that can not speak.  We want you to share your voice and let the public know the struggle of one going through the pain of an abusive relationship. We will also have resource tables and booths for those that want to take information with them and spread the awareness about this issue.

 

We can NOT sit back and just allow this problem to continue without a fight.  We need more information put out there about domestic violence.  We need resources available for abusers so that they have a place to go if they are trying to get help.. We need police, courts, schools, and religous organizations to work together!
