Trigger Warning: Intimate<\/strong><\/em> Partner Violence
<\/strong><\/em>
Our friend Amie Harwick was murdered by a former boyfriend the morning of February 15th, 2020 in her home.

After our podcast recording on January 26th, we talked for a long time about her recent run-in with him. He had blown up at her in public at an event she attended to support Pineapple Support Society<\/a>; he was there as a photographer.

She was frightened, and she did not know what she could do about it. She’d had restraining orders before. They are not easy to prove necessary, they require victim and abuser to be in the same room, they do not provide physical protection, they expire. And most importantly, they do not in any meaningful way address the root of the problem — the person committing the abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amie wasn’t safe in public; she wasn’t safe in her own bedroom. She was utterly failed by a system that refuses to take victims’ safety seriously, and to treat the abusers. Her friend has set up a petition at JusticeForAmie.com<\/a> to help change this. We urge you to sign. It is a first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amie’s mission was to help people. We will not let that fade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half of all female homicide victims are killed by intimate partners<\/a><\/strong>. Women of color are at even greater risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VICTIMS OF ABUSE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are not alone. While imperfect, there are resources available from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at WomensHealth.gov<\/a>, from recognizing the signs of abuse to seeking help.
