SUMMARY:Virtual Reading: Betrayed: Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Reading: Betrayed: Violence Against Women\nSunday July 20\, 2025 \n2pm EDT – VIRTUAL \nRegister here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/3RqcVPSiSfO6TwlOsIMQmg \nBETRAYED – Violence Against Women\, invites survivors of gender-based violence to share their stories so that we can bring awareness to this issue and challenge the culture surrounding domestic violence—a culture that overwhelmingly encourages silence and shame. \nThe purpose of this anthology is to uplift survivors and open up a space for them to share their stories. We hope to create a community in which we can ultimately find healing through the powerful medium of art. 50 Poets responded. \nNot All Poets Will Be Reading \n\n\n\nNicole Abuhamada \nLisa Acerbo \nJenny Adrekedes \nVirginia Alcott \nKimm Antell \nJeff Bien \nJill Bindewald \nA.

Each episode carries a tremendous punch\, as well as a searing lesson about the failings of society to help those in need. . . . Despite such heavy details and subject matter\, Groff balances her book with warmth and humor.” – Kirkus Reviews \nBuy the inspiring book @ https://moonstone-arts-center.square.site/product/groff-meg-not-if-i-can-help-it/526 \nBuy the Moonstone anthology @ https://moonstone-arts-center.square.site/product/betrayed-violence-against-women/DWSMPVY47RUGQBLCDGLBFFKM?cs=true&cst=custom
