In July 2009, California faced an unanticipated challenge when the Governor eliminated all funding for domestic violence agencies. But, the tide turned as Californian’s cried out for justice and safety for families. Four months later, the State government temporarily reinstated shelter funding for the fiscal year. But, the damage was already done. Across the state, five shelters already had to permanently close their doors to victims needing help in their area.

The Quiet Little Place team has been invited to join the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence in Sacramento for Legislative Action Days taking place on the 1 year anniversary of our debut – March 21st and 22nd, 2010. As a pivotal moment in our campaign, Sin by Silence will be screened for the Select Committee on Domestic Violence, as well as the Legislative Women’s Caucus in order to help bring urgency to the ever growing issues of domestic violence throughout the state. Our team, as well as Brenda Clubine who is featured in the film, will also be part of the taking part of various meetings with legislators to help educate about the resources needed to support domestic violence programs and services throughout California.

Sin by Silence has changed lives. Sin by Silence will now help change laws!
