Bloom365 founder and executive director Donna Bartos began her advocacy for domestic violence victims when she founded the Purple Ribbon Council to Cut Out Domestic Abuse in 2006.
“In 2006, we didn’t have the Ray Rice situation. We didn’t have the #MeToo campaign. No one was talking about this,” she said. “It was still in the shadows. It was still very stigmatized.”
