Supporters from several countries and from all 50 states of the United States participated. Several notable celebrities lent their voice to the campaign through the years. The idea was simple; supporters donated to Safe Horizon. Then they painted their ring finger fingernail purple, the color of the domestic violence movement, took a picture of the painted fingernail, and posted this on social media to let people know they supported Safe Horizon and domestic violence survivors.<\/p>\n<p>Safe Horizon remains committed to helping survivors of domestic violence and all forms of abuse in New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donate,  Paint,  Share<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":{"id":9685,"alt_text":"Support children and families in domestic violence shelters","caption":"Peggy Duffy Memorial fund","description":"Support children and families in domestic violence shelters","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":512,"height":512,"file":"2022\/07\/Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail.png","filesize":31715,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail-300x300.png","width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":18595,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail-300x300.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":8008,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail-150x150.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":9684,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Safe-Horizon-Flower-Logo_TransparentThumbnail.png"},"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/2-col-layout.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-1524","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","issue-domestic-violence"],"acf":{"page_header_title":"#PutTheNailinIt","page_header_excerpt":"Help End Domestic Violence for Good","page_header_image":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/silhouette_hero_image.png","sidebar_call_us_description":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/hotlines\">1800-621-HOPE<\/a><\/p>\n","sidebar_call_other_description":"","sidebar_featured_post":{"ID":9904,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2022-10-01 11:41:20","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-01 15:41:20","post_content":"<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

A daughter with her mom. But what was under the\u00a0smile\u00a0is something that I still to this day have a hard time talking about.\"\r\n\r\n\u201cI don\u2019t remember the excuses that I told people when I flew home to escape my abuser about the cuts and scrapes on my shoulder and arms, or why my ribs were hurting, Kramer, 38, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, October 1, alongside a throwback photo of herself and her mother, Noah Kramer. \u201cBut when I look at this photo \u2026 I see a broken girl who was weeks prior pinned to the ground while the man that \u2018loved\u2019 me was strangling me saying that he was going kill me.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhile Kramer didn\u2019t name her alleged abuser, she previously opened up about accusing her first husband, Michel Gambino, of physical and emotional abuse.\r\n\r\n<strong>The One Tree Hill alum\u2019s message also came with a clip of her 2017 speech at Safe Horizon\u2019s 22nd Annual Champion Awards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gZLG2vqCwwQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which you can watch here.<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<iframe title=\"Jana Kramer 's Tearful Speech at Safe Horizon's 22nd Annual Champion Awards\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gZLG2vqCwwQ\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\r\n\u201cIt started with little comments here and there...then it started with more verbal abuse. And then it started with a push or a shove. And then it became a choke. Once my abuser was in jail, I was finally able to be set free.\u201d\r\n\r\nKramer and Gambino met in 2004 and tied the knot after just two weeks of dating. The \u201cWhine Down\u201d podcast host filed for divorce less than a year later. Gambino was eventually convicted of premeditated attempted murder. After he served five years in prison and was released on parole in 2010, the country crooner said she lived in fear until her ex died by suicide in 2012.\r\n\r\n\u201cI felt bad because my first feeling was relief that he was gone, that I didn\u2019t have to worry about him anymore,\u201d the \u201cI Got the Boy\u201d singer explained during an appearance on Good Morning America in 2014 about her relationship with Gambino. \u201cI felt sad that I couldn\u2019t change his life.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn the Instagram post, the Michigan native recalled feeling \u201cso full of shame\u201d and \u201clike I had no one,\u201d thinking that \u201cno one would believe her\u201d if she came forward.\r\n\r\n\u201cTo be honest it\u2019s been a journey and one I\u2019m still trying to walk through knowing that wasn\u2019t the last abusive relationship,\u201d she claimed. \u201cOne of the hardest rocks I threw into the stream [was] \u2018I deserve abuse\u2019 because for so long that\u2019s what I thought. I held onto that for years thinking that was true. That\u2019s what I was made to believe.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Entourage alum added that she speaks out to \u201chelp others and to hopefully help at least one person who is reading this to talk to someone,\u201d noting that \u201cno one\u201d deserves abuse.\r\n\r\n\u201cPhysically, sexually, mentally, verbally, financially, emotionally abusive relationships etc. THAT IS ALL ABUSE,\u201d she shared. \u201cThere are people who want to be there for you. That are there for you. Please don\u2019t wait until you lose your breath.\u201d\r\n\r\n<em>As seen in:<\/em>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/jana-kramer-recalls-escaping-alleged-abuser-from-past-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US Magazine<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/jana-kramer-surviving-domestic-violence-heartbreaking-instagram-posthttps:\/\/parade.com\/news\/jana-kramer-surviving-domestic-violence-heartbreaking-instagram-post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parade<\/a><\/em><\/li>\r\n \t<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/10\/03\/jana-kramer-claims-abusive-ex-boyfriend-was-going-to-kill-her\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Page Six<\/a><\/em><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/p\/jana-kramer-abusive-ex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OK!

In 2020, there were 45,222 firearm-related deaths in the United States \u2013 that\u2019s about 124 people dying from a firearm-related injury each day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/violenceprevention\/firearms\/fastfact.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(CDC 2022)<\/a>. In New York State, there is an average of 870 deaths by gun violence each year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everytown.org\/state\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Everytown 2022)<\/a>.\r\n<h2>The Problem of Gun Violence<\/h2>\r\nMany New Yorkers don\u2019t fully understand the far-reaching impact that gun violence has for survivors and their families and communities. For communities of color and, particularly young boys and men of color, many people don\u2019t know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/get-help\/victims-of-other-abuse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun violence support<\/a> is available or simply aren\u2019t offered help.\r\n\r\nWhen there is an incident involving a gun, there is an effect on an entire community, not just one person. In the aftermath of a shooting incident, the family members of the person who may have been shot are all affected. Community members who heard or witnessed the shooting are impacted by the trauma of being near a shooting incident, and an individual survivor has to cope with the traumatic aftermath of being shot or shot at. Some people may experience anxiety or fear about leaving their home or walking outside because of the trauma experienced during the shooting. Sadly, often families grieve the loss of a family member murdered.\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a5e3;\">Solutions for Gun Violence<\/span><\/h2>\r\nAddressing gun violence in New York City and the country involves changing mindsets of people. We all need to stop thinking this cannot happen to you or someone you care about. The statistics are clear that gun violence can impact people you know. When these incidents occur, it is important not to blame the victims of a shooting for being in the way of a bullet.\r\n\r\nAside from legislation and policy initiatives, people need to understand and appreciate the value of life. It is important to go beyond the idea that we could eliminate guns all together, but rather rethink how we manage conflict. At Safe Horizon we are raising awareness of the factors that contribute to the rise in gun violence. These factors include economic factors, systemic racism, and the environments in which people live.\r\n\r\nWhile we support meaningful and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/positions-statements\/safe-horizon-supports-common-sense-police-reforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">common-sense gun reform policy<\/a>, we also understand that addressing the mental health and economic issues that contribute to gun violence are also important.\r\n\r\nIf you or your family are affected by gun violence, Safe Horizon is here for you.\r\n<a id=\"our support programs for Gun Violence Victims in New York City\"><\/a>\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a5e3;\">Our Programs and Services for Gun Violence Victims in New York City<\/span><\/h2>\r\nSafe Horizon\u2019s mission is to provide support, prevent violence and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse.
