On January 31, 2023, Violence Free Minnesota will host a public memorial to honor the lives of those killed due to intimate partner violence in 2022. The event will be livestreamed on our Facebook page. The program will feature several speakers - including family members of victims killed last year - who will address key issues regarding homicide and intimate partner violence. The program will close with a reading of the victims' names.

While this is a public event, we extend special invitations to family members and friends of those who have been killed due to domestic violence. We also extend express invitations to staff and volunteers of domestic violence programs, legislators, and criminal justice system personnel. Media is welcome to attend.

In addition to this memorial event, our 2022 Clothesline Project will be displayed in the 1st floor North Corridor for the entire week of January 30-February 3. The project features a t-shirt for every intimate partner homicide victim killed in 2022.
