Democrats AND Republicans Should Care About Domestic Violence. Here’s Why, with Senator Anthony Bucco (R)

It’s difficult to find common ground when you disagree with someone politically. Instead of taking the time to really listen to each other, we get caught up in arguments and proving our points. Too often, this leads us to focus on what divides us instead of what unities us. In this special episode of Unsilenced: Real Conversations About Abuse the New Jersey Senate Minority Leader, Anthony M. Bucco, spoke about the importance of bipartisanship as it relates to domestic violence. Since domestic violence is an issue that impacts all people, with no regard to their political affiliation, it requires a unified front to end abuse.  Content:(0:00) Introduction(2:17) Why Domestic Violence Should Matter to Republicansand Democrats (3:11) Conservative Values & Ending Domestic Violence (4:46) Polarization, Politics, & Abuse (7:08) Domestic Violence Legislation (11:02) A Message About Abuse (15:58) A Message from the New Jersey Coalition to EndDomestic Violence (19:55) About JBWS & Resources Resources:Find more resources about restraining orders: ⁠jbws.org/resourcesIf you are in an unhealthy relationship and living or working in Morris County, New Jersey JBWS can help call our 24-Hour Helpline at 1.877.782.2873 or visit ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠jbws.org/services⁠⁠⁠If you notice controlling or unhealthy behaviors in yourself, JBWS can help.
