October is domestic violence awareness month.
‘Silence is Not an Option’ is an annual poetry reading promoting awareness of domestic violence. Josie Mixon, survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, once again hosts this year’s event. She is an activist and the author of two books "Reflections of My Battered Life" and "Of Flesh and Bone I am Woman Surviving Abuse." She has appeared in person and her work is documented in several publications promoting awareness for all victims and survivors who cannot or will not speak for themselves.
Featured readers at “Silence is Not an Option” are survivors of abuse and express their experience through their written work. Dr. Josephine Mendez Negrete author of "Las Hijas De Juan Daughters Betrayed” and a professor at the University of Texas in San Antonio is the honored guest this year.
Several agencies including the "Rape Crisis Center, The P.E.A.C.E. Initiative and the Family Violence Prevention Services, Inc will be on hand distributing information on the services they provide.

This event is sponsored by: Viva Bookstore, the Rape Crisis Center, and Peace Initiative & Family Violence Prevention Services.
