Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The YWCA Northwest Ohio, fiscal agent of the local No More Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Campaign, has requested funding to sustain the local No More campaign.

The goal is to raise awareness about the seriousness of domestic violence and sexual assault, publicize community resources for both the victim and batterer, reduce stigma, and reduce the number of incidents of domestic violence and sexual assault in Toledo. Foremost is the commitment to save lives.
The YWCA Northwest Ohio has requested $20,000 from the City to buy television and radio time to air the No More video. City Council desires to contribute to this most worthy cause.
