The Junior League of Monroe (JLM) will hold its 4th annual Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI), which is an awareness and fundraising campaign about the effects of domestic violence in our community. LBDI is a week-long endeavor from October 3-7, 2022 where participants wear one black dress (or outfit) for five (5) consecutive days, illustrating the lack of resources that victims who have fled domestic violence situations face (sometimes with only the clothes on their backs) as well as their limited access to opportunities, choices, and other resources. The campaign sparks conversations about domestic violence and the ways to prevent it and collects monetary donations as well as donations of new or gently used professional clothing and accessories for the Junior League of Monroe's W.E. C.A.R.E. program which will take place on October 22, 2022. Every woman deserves to feel confident and empowered, and the Junior League of Monroe’s Little Black Dress Initiative draws attention to how difficult that can be when living without the resources to leave a domestic violence situation. You can support the Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) and the JLM's W.E. C.A.R.E program by making a monetary donation.
