Jan Voight	$50.00	"All women know of this abuse, either personally or through someone close to them. Down through the ages, women have been brutalized both verbally and physically. Women are socialized to accept what happens to them. The abuse eats away at their self esteem and they lose the courage to stand up for themselves. But standup they must and it is our duty to help those who can't help themselves. In the immortal words of Glementine Paddleford: "Never grow a wishborn, daughter, where your backbone ought to be".

Kirsten Meadow	Hidden	"Good luck to all the special people running and walking in the NYJL Race to Erase Domestic Violence. "In order to (respond to domestic abuse as a community), we really have to look at the values that guide us and that we have to work towards an ethic that respects every individual, to be physically and emotionally safe. That is ultimately what our goal is: to understand that no one, regardless of age, color, gender, background, any other factor, deserves to be physically or emotionally unsafe. We need to do everything we can to respect that safety, and everything that we can to protect it. " Sheila Wellstone 4/19/2005 Congratulations to everyone who works to make a difference.
