Moved to action by tragic local events, a group of local Latinos has come together through the Library Takeover program to host a critical event called Red Heels: Steps Toward Justice | Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence. The event will center on the issue of domestic violence in the Latino community and address generational cycles of trauma.
Event Timeline:
10-11am: Welcome and Breakfast. Coffee and donuts will be served. Circulate to different tables with information for filing police reports, connecting with local social workers, seeking shelter for women and children, and more.
11am-12pm: Keynote Presentation by Dra. Lucía Melgar. We will leave time for Q&A with the speaker.
The event is open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to wear red heels as a symbol of solidarity, remembrance, and commitment to justice. This Library Takeover event is funded by Madison Public Library Foundation and TruStage.
