Third Dear Utah rally at the Capitol draws largest crowd yet to address domestic violence

Nonprofits and advocacy groups gathered on the steps of the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City for the third annual "Dear Utah" rally on domestic violence, FOX 13 reported. Organizers said it was the largest of the three they have held and that they hope to continue. ^[1]

Amanda Tullis, board chair of the Safe Harbor Crisis Center, said only 21% of people in Utah believe the statistic that one in three women and one in seven men are affected by domestic violence. The rally was meant to connect survivors with resources and a community, FOX 13 reported. ^[1]

Kellie Anderson of Salt Lake City, whose sister Stacey was murdered in 2016 by her husband, said she speaks out so people understand the impact of domestic violence. Mayci Neeley, who appears on the reality series "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," also spoke, saying people should be aware that such abuse happens in Utah. ^[1]
