Tune in tonight for WCCO-TV’s 10 p.m. newscast. There will be a feature story about the prevalence of domestic violence in our community as well as a special phone bank for those who may need help.

The phone bank will be staffed by advocates who are ready to help. If you or someone you know is currently experiencing domestic violence, call and speak with an advocate.  Get help: find resources.
