Native domestic violence spotlight
In the current U.S. Supreme Court session, the justices will hear arguments against a law that prevents people with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns.

Native advocates for domestic violence survivors are worried a decision in favor of gun owners will jeopardize the lives of women, who are, by far, the most frequent victims of domestic violence.

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to mark the 29th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, join Native America Calling to find out what actions help — and hurt — potential domestic violence victims.
