WABI covers UMaine march to end domestic violence
WABI (Channel 5) reported hundreds of students gathered for a march on Oct. 5 at the University of Maine to raise awareness about domestic violence. “The different topics of respect, love, and kindness — which I believe are the core values with the fight against domestic violence — everyone is going to be marching thinking about these values,” said Michael Fagan, a sophomore at UMaine. The third annual event was held to honor victims, as well as spread the word about prevention and available resources, according to WABI. “I think it’s incredibly important for everybody to come out, especially Greek community,” said Olivia Arnold, a member of the Chi Omega sorority at UMaine. “All the athletes are here, different organizations are here, to stand against domestic violence because it is a really bad thing that is going on, and people need to be aware of how you can prevent it.”
