as a whole; and

sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse and human trafficking by creating a community that is compassionate,
respectful, and inclusive, where they can receive support as they navigate their healing journey; and

from violence and fear by being a trusted resource for justice, hope, healing and empowerment; now, therefore, it
be
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council does hereby proclaim October 2025 as National Domestic Violence
