Just Stalking Resources' 2nd Crab Fest with Live Music

This year will highlight the importance of educating Marylanders about stalking & advocating for resources specific to stalking victims.

We are excited to announce that in lieu of the annual Awareness January Event we will be holding our second Crab Fest with live music on July 11th.
