Governor and First Lady Recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Statement

Governor Pat McCrory and First Lady Ann McCrory are lighting the Executive Mansion in Raleigh, and the Governor's Western Residence in Asheville purple Friday night to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The governor proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in North Carolina to recognize the significant impact domestic violence has on North Carolinians.

"The number of North Carolinians affected by domestic violence each year is staggering," Governor McCrory said. "Ann and I believe that if all of us work together, we can end the cycle of domestic violence affecting North Carolina families and children."
