Last Wednesday, October 2, Somerville Residents gathered in Davis Square for the annual Candlelight Vigil in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. People took time to speak out to the crowd. Among the speakers, Mayor Joe Curtatone and other members of the city council spoke their piece on what domestic violence means to them. The event was open to the public to attend where people were holding candles while others spoke to them about domestic violence. Members of the Somerville Fire and Police Departments were also in attendance at the vigil for support.
