Purple Light Nights®
Purple Light Nights is a global campaign in over 23 states and 3 countries with the goal to increase the awareness of domestic violence. Through These Doors is once again partnering with Portland City Hall Cumberland County, local business owners, law enforcement agencies, health care facilities, municipalities, and community members in making Cumberland County glow purple for October.

White Ribbon Campaign
The White Ribbon Campaign is an international campaign to engage men in efforts to end gender-based violence. Social justice work on behalf of women and girls needs to include the voices of men and boys. By taking a stand against gender-based violence, you join millions of men around the world who are committed to safety for our mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces, aunts, co-workers and friends. This campaign gives our local men and boys the opportunity to participate throughout our own Lakes Region and beyond, by taking the pledge to stand up against gender-based violence. https://www.whiteribbon.ca/
