Good Shepherd Shelter Volunteers Organize Open Mic Night to Say #NOMORE

LOS ANGELES - March 10, 2015 - PRLog -- In support of the Joyful Heart Foundation’s #NOMORE week, Good Shepherd Shelter volunteers are hosting a poetry night.

“Good Shepherd Shelter is proving that there can be no more domestic violence” said Astrid Quinones, Good Shepherd Volunteer. “The great progress that I have witnessed within each family have inspired me to raise awareness through poetry”.

To raise awareness about domestic violence, it is imperative that the stories of survivors are shared and heard. Whether you would like to share or listen, all are welcome to participate. As a community, we must keep the conversation going and say no more to domestic violence.

Bring your friends, poems and snap the evening away as you hear the stories of survivors and advocates shared.

When: Thursday March 12, 2015

         5 – 7 PM

Where: Blu Elefant Café

2024 W Washington Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90018
