Grassroots4GVP October 2024 Statewide Meeting
On Wednesday, October 9, Grassroots4GVP members gathered via Zoom to mark Domestic Violence (DV) Awareness Month with featured speaker Lovern Gordon, from longtime partner organization Love Life Now.
- A recording of the meeting is available here (passcode: VrTGn4$7)

The meeting was informative—linking DV to gun violence—and inspiring—showing how Lovern channeled her experiences with DV into a commitment to supporting other survivors.
