DV Survivor and JBWS founder Candy shares her story

Candy recollects the early days of the movement to prevent domestic violence and provide shelter and support to victims. In 1976, while meeting with Morris County's prosecutor to express the urgent need for a DV shelter, he was called out of the room. When he returned, he said "It was one of yours, Lois Gilmore was shot dead by her husband." When Candy and other volunteers finally opened the JBWS safehouse on Christmas1978, it was full by New Year's Eve. Video by YouTube channel.
