KING. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the 40th anniversary
of the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence, MCEDV, and its nine
member organizations and resource centers: Hope and Justice Project,
Partners for Peace, Next Step, New Hope for Women, Family Violence
Project, Safe Voices, Family Crisis Services, Caring Unlimited, and
Immigrant Resource Center of Maine. I am humbled and thankful for their
tireless service to end the cycle of abuse existing in too many homes
across Maine, our Nation, and the world. Originally formed in 1977 as the Maine Coalition for Family Crisis
Services, and renamed the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence in
2001, the MCEDV has spent four decades being advocates for victims of
domestic violence and have never lost their focus.
