Lake County Rising returns in person to Round Lake Beach for 10th year protesting domestic violence against women
"It is so common to feel hopelessness and that no one will care," Lake County Rising chair Sandra Bankston said of people experiencing sexual domestic violence."Public events like this show people there are those who care and that can give people the strength to disclose what is actually happening."
Former Round Lake Beach Trustee Judy Armstrong started Lake County Rising after seeing on the international movement's website that there had been no version of these events in America outside of the coasts. "We all can get caught up in our particular mission and be so busy we operate as silos," Bankston said."It is so nice to have something to come together and work on collaboratively."
Tuesday's event begins at 6:30 p.m. with a resource fair to provide information on help available to victims of violence. Then at 7 p.m., the hourlong program will begin and feature speakers from area organizations, as well as talented young people.
