The purple is already popping up across Anderson County!

We're proud to share these photos of local law enforcement officers showing their support for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. These are some of the men and women who respond when survivors need help, and we're grateful to see them standing together to raise awareness.

**Now it's your turn, Anderson County!**

💜 **Thursday, October 15th is Wear Purple Day**, and we're inviting our entire community to participate!

👕 Wear purple to work, school, or wherever your day takes you.

📸 Snap a picture of yourself, your coworkers, friends, family, or even your pets showing off your purple!

We want to fill our page with photos of the people, businesses, organizations, and agencies that make Anderson County a community that cares.

Domestic violence affects people in every neighborhood, every profession, and every walk of life. And while wearing purple may seem like a small gesture, it sends an important message to survivors: **You are seen. You are supported. And your community stands with you.**

💜 **Let's turn Anderson County purple on October 15th!**
