"To end violence in society, the No More Summit is an opportunity to increase collaboration across communities, including law enforcement, governments, the public, social services and media,” said Michelle Bart, president and co-founder of NWCAVE. “This is our chance to continue to fight for anyone who has experienced any form of violence,’ said Bart.
