An effort to create a statewide board to study domestic violence deaths, to uncover trends, and guide opportunities for intervention, support and policy unanimously passed both legislative bodies. We’ll learn about domestic violence law and resources for those affected from our guests from the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Vera Johnson, Program Specialist and Luis Montgomery, Compliance and Public Policy Specialist.
