Shine a Light This October

đź’ś **Shine a Light for Domestic Violence Awareness Month** đź’ś

Each October, the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable organizes its Purple Lights Initiative, illuminating public buildings throughout Sudbury and Wayland in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Purple symbolizes courage, survival, and hope, while honoring those whose lives have been affected or lost to domestic violence. A purple light is a simple but powerful way to show solidarity with survivors and remind our community that domestic abuse has no place in our homes or communities.

🏠 **We invite you to join us!**
Place a purple light in your window or outside your home this October and help our community **Shine a Light** together. We hope to see even more homes glowing purple this year!

đź’ś Purple light bulbs are available at local hardware and party stores.

For more information, contact **[email protected]**.

Difficult conversations don't have to end in tension or withdrawal, and this community proved it. Our Conversations, Not Confrontations series with jamele adams has wrapped up. Four planned sessions plus a bonus session. Real talk. And a room full of Wayland adults who showed up ready to listen, learn, and grow. Thank you, jamele, and thank you to everyone who participated. The skills you've built here matter. Let’s keep the conversations going!

This program was sponsored by Wayland Public Schools and the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. It was made possible through the generous support of the Lydia Maria Child Fund of First Parish in Wayland.

And that's a wrap! 🎉 The Conversations for Change series at the Wayland Free Public Library has come to a close. We’re grateful to Dr. Eden-Reneé Hayes, of Pluralism Solutions, for leading us through such open, thoughtful and inspiring conversations. And thank you to every community member who showed up, spoke up, and listened with open hearts.

This series was sponsored by the Wayland Free Public Library, the Wayland Museum and Historical Society, and the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. It was made possible by the Gossels Family Fund for Human Dignity, the Marian Draper Fund, and the Friends of the Wayland Library. Funded in part by a grant from the Wayland Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
