State Rep. Mark Walker and the Northwest Suburban Alliance on Domestic Violence are working to raise awareness of domestic violence at events this summer.
“Domestic violence is a devastating crime that affects women, children, and entire families. It degrades the moral fabric of our community, and we must put an end to this crime that often transcends generations,” Walker said. “I am committed to doing all I can to raise awareness so we can stop the cycle of violence and send the message that if you are being abused, there is help, and if you are an abuser, your actions will not be tolerated.”
A leader of the Northwest Suburban Alliance on Domestic Violence, Walker has helped to distribute information about the group’s prevention initiatives at the Arlington Heights National Night Out and the Rolling Meadows Cornfest. In his first 19 months as a legislator, Walker has pushed for tougher laws against abusers.
Walker represents the 66th District, which includes parts of Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Des Plaines and Schaumburg.
