Domestic Violence update

Recently the issue has been raised about how police respond to incidents of domestic violence, spurred by Donna Williams’ story in the Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09158/975486-53.stm#ixzz0HlxjbFWg&C

The Citizens Police Review Board is meeting next week to review the particulars of this case.

The wonderful group of women who volunteered to help change the Pgh. Police Dept’s internal DV staff policy has come back together. We’ll hold a press conference right before the CPRB’s meeting.

The case involves both city and county government, we hope women from throughout Allegheny County will join us:

Date: Tuesday, June 23
Location: 2201 Wylie Ave
Press Conference: 5:30 p.m.
CPRB meeting: 6 p.m.

Please help to spread this information via your networks, blogs, facebook, etc. Hell, if it feels right, Twitter it!
