Make it stand out Dear Friends and Supporters, Each October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), Voices of Tamar | Our Voices Our Stories remembers and honors survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse by displaying purple ribbons where the entire community can see them. Why Tamar? Our name honors Tamar, a woman in the Hebrew Bible (2 Samuel 13) who was sexually assaulted and then silenced. We exist so that survivors’ voices are heard. As the month closes, we invite you to join us. We encourage all individuals, communities of faith, workplaces, schools, businesses, organizations, friends, and families to place purple ribbons in visible spaces to honor: Lives lost to domestic violence. Survivors who are healing and rebuilding their lives. People who are living in abusive situations right now. Choose a day between now and November 1 to display or wear your ribbon. Add a survivor’s name, a reflective phrase, or a special word to honor an individual. Tie a ribbon where your community can see it. Place ribbons on fences, church pews, porch rails, windows, doorknobs, trees, and anywhere your heart leads you. Every ribbon says, "I see you." I believe in you. You are not alone. Your voice matters. Share it: Snap a photo of your ribbon, post it, and tag us. Please do not post a photo of a person or share their name online without their permission. @voicesoftamar (instagram.com) #VoicesOfTamar #PurpleRibbonsOfHope #DVAM2026 #WeStandWithSurvivors Need purple ribbons?

A word on Ubuntu: Ubuntu is a Southern African word meaning “I am because we are.” It means our lives are connected. When one of us is hurting, we all feel it, and when one of us is supported, we all grow stronger. A purple ribbon on a neighbor’s door is Ubuntu in action: a small sign that says someone is not alone. In Ubuntu... Standing together to make a difference. Peace and Blessings, Debra J. Johnson, PhD Voicees of Tamar | Our Voices Our Stories voicesoftamarorg@gmail.com For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
