“Due to a dramatic increase in the amount of survivors seeking services at Emerge, donations are needed now more than ever,” said Ed Mercurio-Sakwa, Emerge CEO.

The community can join Emerge in raising awareness about domestic violence on national Wear Purple Day on Oct. 18 by wearing purple clothing or accessories, taking a photo and sharing it on social media.

In Arizona in 2017, 87 people died from domestic-violence-related incidents, 16 in Pima County. There have been 55 domestic-violence-related deaths in 2018 as of August, 14 of them in Pima County.
