Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse

OPINION: "That’s why, on a recent cloudy afternoon, my family turned the conversation away from our own wish lists and toward the needs we noticed in our community," writes Star contributor Heather Mace. 

OPINION: "For many years now, Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse, where I work as CEO, has worked closely with numerous community partners to spark conversations and actions needed to shift cultural norms and socialization that grow out of misogynistic comments like Portnoy’s," writes Ed Sakwa, CEO of Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse. 

Opinion: "The amount of physical violence also appears to be on the rise, along with new justifications being used for abusive behaviors (e.g., “I’m under so much stress”) and new forms of control like withholding or limiting access to medical care, food, or toilet paper," writes Emerge CEO Ed Mercurio-Sakwa.
