Community members are encouraged to participate in the walk and bring family members and friends. Participants are also asked to wear purple, the color associated with domestic violence awareness, as a visible show of solidarity with survivors and others affected by domestic violence.

In addition to raising awareness, the event will support individuals who may be fleeing unsafe situations. Attendees are invited to donate personal hygiene and beauty products, which will be used to create Emergency Ready Kits for individuals in need.

Monetary donations collected through the event will benefit a local domestic violence shelter as well as the DMV Colony's Scholarship Fund.

Through “Steps Toward Peace,” Mu Alpha Sigma, Inc. hopes to bring the community together not only to raise awareness about domestic violence but also to turn that awareness into meaningful support and action.
