RECENT EVENTS:
The rally at the State Capitol on November16th
was a HUGE success. Thank-you to everyone who participated and to the legislators who gave us a warm welcome inside the Capitol afterwards.
October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Ashley Thompson's case joined JFTD in October 2010. Like Chanda Turner and Sheila Deviney's cases, her death is strongly believed to have been an intimate partner homicide. Thank you to all who joined us at ROCOCO on October 15th to welcome Susan Murphy-Milano, domestic violence expert and author, who is assisting JFTD families find JUSTICE.
