City of Somerville 2024 Domestic Violence Vigil

Department of Racial and Social Justice

Come join us at the Somerville annual Domestic Violence Vigil to honor survivors, raise awareness, and stand against abuse in our community.

Somerville Public Library East Branch

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, the Somerville Commission for Women, RESPOND, Inc., the Somerville Public Library, and the Department of Racial and Social Justice invite residents to attend the City’s annual Domestic Violence Vigil on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. This annual vigil is dedicated to commemorating the lives lost to domestic violence in the past year, recognizing the strength of survivors, and renewing our community’s dedication to eradicating domestic violence. Attendees will be invited to raise a candle in remembrance of domestic violence victims and participate in the Clothesline Project – an interactive community art project that raises awareness about domestic violence. A display will be presented from attendees who participated in the Clothesline Project at last year’s vigil and this year’s attendees will be invited to again participate. The event will take place outside the East Somerville Library (115 Broadway) with a rain location of Connexion Church (149 Broadway). Light food and refreshments will be provided. This event is free and open to the public. There will be American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation at the event. The City of Somerville can provide you with an interpreter for free. To request an interpreter in your language, please contact the SomerViva Office of Immigrant Affairs at somervillema.gov/ContactSomerviva or call 311 (617-666-3311).
