Jennifer's Law - Monday June 7

On Friday June 4, Connecticut overwhelmingly passed Jennifer's Law in the House. Known as Senate Bill 1060, the bill expands the definition of domestic violence. Dara Kennedy and Maya Shwayder will talk with CT Senator Alex Kasser who co-authored the bill. 

Beth Leventhal, Executive Director of The Network/La Red, discusses how this Massachusetts-based group counsels, advocates, and provides resources for LGBT+ survivors of domestic violence.

Mary-Jane Foster, President and CEO of Interval House, speaks about an often underreported statistic - men as victims of domestic violence.

Should you need help, call Interval House on their 24-hour crisis bilingual hotline: 888-774-2900

If you are a male victim and need help, call the 24-hour national domestic violence hotline at 800-799-7233 or text "START" to the same number.
