BROOKLYN, NEW YORK —The Women of Faith Advocating Change in conjunction with Judah International Christian Center, Church of God of East Flatbush, the Historic Rugged Cross Baptist Church, Agape Tabernacle International Fellowship, Women Organizing, Mobilizing and Building (WOMB), Council Member Letitia James, Assemblywoman Annette M. Robinson, TOP Development Corporation (Domestic Violence Prevention Program), the 77th Clergy Precinct Council, the 73rd Clergy Precinct Council and other prominent leaders and organizations are taking action against the rising incidences of Domestic Violence.

On Monday, March 28, 2011 at 11:00 am, The Women of Faith Advocating Change will hold a Press Conference denouncing the escalating incidences of Domestic Violence in our city and to lend support and prayers for Deputy Inspector Juanita Holmes, Commander of the 81st Police Precinct, here, in Brooklyn, New York. Female faith leaders, community leaders, elected officials and police colleagues will gather to send a strong message that Domestic Violence is a rising issue throughout our city and the nation, however, its impact on urban communities is devastating.

The Reverend Dr. Cheryl Anthony, Pastor of Judah International Christian Center and President of Women of Faith Advocating Change was quoted as saying “Domestic Violence in our homes, houses of worship, schools and community at large will not be tolerated or ignored. We are grieved that our sister and community colleague has suffered immensely (physically, emotionally and spiritually) because of a recent vicious domestic attack. We are in prayer for everyone involved.”
