National Domestic Violence Awareness Month continues for October and the City of Brownwood is chiming in on helping make the public aware of issue and work to understand how domestic violence threatens the fabric of society.

Brownwood Mayor Bert Massey read and signed a proclamation today at the Brownwood City Council meeting regarding National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  The proclamation said it part, “The city declares October to be National Domestic Violence Awareness Month for the City of Brownwood and urge all of our citizens to actively participate in scheduled activities and programs that work toward improving victim safety and holding predators of domestic abuse accountable for their actions against individual victims in our society as a whole.”
