“Paint Phoenix Purple” is a domestic violence awareness
campaign supported by 50 organizations including the City of Phoenix. The
campaign’s main goal is to make people aware about the domestic violence
problem and produce a cultural change.
October is the month of National Domestic Violence Awareness
so the city will paint Phoenix Purple.
The Public Information Office, the area where I am
interning, is in charged of promoting this campaign.
Indeed we all got “campaign t-shirts” which we
can wear at the office anytime during October.
I wanted to write about this campaign because I believe is a positive initiative that the City supports it and also because the City has a Family Advocacy Center which provides
services to victims of domestic violence.
Paint Purple seems like an awesome campaign in order to raise awareness about domestic violence. At work today we had a purple purse campaign, which is an event where you hand around a purple purse and register it among each of your co workers. The more co workers you get to register the more money Allstate donates toward domestic violence awareness. Programs such as Paint Purple and Purple Purse are programs that are necessary in order to raise awareness of such a tragic situation that takes place. I had no idea that October was the month for domestic violence awareness and I am glad that you informed me. Good luck with the internship and keep up the good writing.
